In My Own WordsEbook

This is a selection of simple poems I have written over the yearsfrom the time I was a teenager until I was in my thirties. These poems are made up from years of tears and fears as well as prayer, love, and hope. I always had a thing about dating my poems to jog my memory about what I was experiencing at that time. It took me back through the years to see the journey I was on. At the worst of times, I wrote poetry to rid me of my fears and help me through some awful darkness when I thought I was going to lose my mind. More importantly, writing poetry was about my faith and my relationship with God. This has been a foundation for me. It has kept me going and kept me from going insane (even though I am still crazy). I hope my poems will help even one reader find a place, a dream, a goal, or an answer in life.
