    Mother of eight children and thirteen grandchildren. I have a degree in early childhood education. I have been working with kids my entire life and am the oldest of a family of twelve. I have been writing poems since I was a little girl. This work is an extension of my life experience as a mother and teacher, exhorter and encourager. It is also a legacy to be passed on to my children. I give thanks to God for the gifting and talent he has given me. I have thoroughly enjoyed writing and composing this book.

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      About Friendship A Reflection

      Friendship doesn’t always start out because of attraction. Sometimes it’s not that way at all. Perhaps we find ourselves noticing all the unusual ways about a person and carefully adjusting ourselves to what we are experiencing. This exploration into a new personality is like turning over the many sided angles of a rock to examine its unique shape or texture. Each experience of you begins to draw me in a little closer, a little more than before. Perhaps I seem a little cautious at first, but after a while I am right there with you. I’ve just leapt into the water; little by little. I was getting used to you, not rejecting you; but allowing all the nuances of you that are so different from me, to become a part of us! Aren’t we somewhat all the same on the inside? The joy of friendship of course is that we can always make space to find room in our hearts for just one more friend.

      Thanksgiving Letter to a Friend

      For all you do for me how can I fail to say

      How I appreciate you each and every day,

      You extend yourself in your patience and your time,

      I just need to say it more even though

      I don’t say it all the time!

      But mostly you care for me and what’s inside my heart,

      Our friendship has been a learning and I’m thankful for your part.

      I’m grateful we grew to know each other and now I love you a whole lot.

      So here’s my blip of a letter.

      Bless our friendship Lord, may it grow better and better.

      In acknowledgement to Deborah Jean Casto

      For all of your painstaking time and attention in helping me prepare my manuscript.

      I am forever grateful and extend my deepest appreciation and blessings.

      Bridegroom Song

      At the sound of the trumpet, He’ll draw nigh

      And his people who are ready will know why…

      As the nations look to see his face,

      So his people will gather in one place.

      His radiant splendor will over take the air

      The earth’s foundations shall shake in holy fear...

      In one accord together we’ll arise

      To meet our heavenly bridegroom in the skies

      Light your lamps trim the wick and have fresh oil,

      For while two are working one will leave this earthly toil,

      For the wise ones will be ready when he calls...

      Sow the seeds, glean and harvest, one and all.

      At the sound of the trumpet we’ll arise...

      For the bridegroom has been longing for his bride,

      ~For the bridegroom has been longing for his bride,

      ~has been longing

      ~has been longing

      ~for his bride.

      ~~~~~~

      The Bridegroom Calleth

      The bridegroom calleth,

      He seeks her at break of day,

      Though morning dawneth

      In slumber she lay.

      He studies her in the shadows

      Motionless as she sleeps,

      Gently he touches her

      Caressing her cheek.

      He utters just a whisper

      As he breathes into her ear,

      Silently he murmurs,

      I love you, my dear.

      His hands enfold her face,

      As tenderly they embrace ~

      Earnestly seeking a kiss to place ~

      Longingly she greets him,

      Lips touch, part and linger,

      Caressing with tenderness each finger.

      Thou art fairer than any other,

      I delight my heart in thee.

      Searching her every feature

      Each artful touch their teacher.

      How fittingly, how tender ~

      Each wave of surrender ~

      The dew of evening tide…

      Unto dawn confides.

      The bride calleth to her bridegroom

      In trembling tones,

      Thou art my troth in life alone.

      To you I pledge, this gift I give,

      Spare not its yielding unto death, so we live.

      O solemn vow ~

      O covenant most chaste ~

      Impassioned fire, unfolding grace,

      Unto thee only, I seek your face.

      Thy trusting hand upon my heart,

      Promise thou not forsake thy part.

      The bridegroom cometh,

      She awaits him in splendor.

      He beckons her,

      With words most tender.

      The Potter’s Field

      You are the Potter, I am the clay

      Mold me & fashion me, in the most intimate way

      Take all of my heart and all that it holds

      Rub into its crevices the oil of Your Soul

      I am but a fragile wisp of wind

      Searching to find a refuge within

      Oh Song of my Spirit

      The life of Your Son

      More precious than any music I’ve ever sung

      Drift with me into the places I’ve imagined

      That I may hear the whisper of heaven

      The breath of Your voice

      Calling out from eternity

      Speak to me of vision

      I have long been yearning

      Tender Vine on whose branches I abide

      You are the Vinedresser

      The true Wine and the Bride

      Cultivate & prune every tender branch & root

      Cause my desires to bear much fruit

      For without such life & intimate trust

      I would wither, my life be lost

      You have loved me & called me Your own

      I ask in Your name, seeking Your throne

      Let me see what You see

      And do as You have done

      Precious Jesus, most Holy One

      Come to me as only You can

      I want to know Your presence Son of Man

      Like me in all ways except sin

      Fill me a new with fervent passion
