    Author

    A. SIMMONS

    I have been writing since I was 7. My mom would instill Christian values in her children by having us to write a 500-word essay on the 10 Commandments when we did something wrong. She would let me express myself however I felt, and it became a joy instead of punishment, to write about the Bible. Today I am still a Bible scholar; my research is documented in over 30 study notebooks. I have 5 beautiful grands, 3 girls and 2 boys, who I love to write about. I especially love to write about my baby grandson, who has the charisma of a china doll. He is 8 going on 20. Poems such as "I Got A Problem, and "Can He See Me..." takes you into the wonderful world of being grandma. I am a faithful Christian, and I give God all the glory for all that I am. Born and raised in Orlando, FL.

      THE ‘heart of man’

      What is in the ‘heart of man?’

      Who can fathom or try and understand

      When the world is full of complicated things

      Mixed emotions, gladness, sorrows, and farsightedness it brings?

      One day he feels he’s on top of the world

      The next day, insolence, and revile actions he hurls

      What has caused this sudden divulgence?

      Of a different side of him, well kept but now an occurrence

      Why was his heart so easily broken?

      When God, sent His Son, to be as the token

      No one would know hurt, better than Him

      When His prize creations, treat others’ feelings so slim

      A balance He created for man to avoid

      Being divided and pulled in such a way that he is destroyed

      A true heart would consist of the ways of the LORD

      Anything less, man just simply cannot afford,

      To be without the glory that it brings

      To God, the creator, of e • ve • ry • thing

      1st to God we are to love, mind, body and soul

      2nd to our neighbor, this is our next important role

      To be in compliance with God’s eternal plan,

      Is what He expects in the THE ‘heart of man’ ~

      A FRIEND

      What is the rating for a friend?

      One who will stick with you through thick and thin?

      What is the rating of God’s love?

      He’ll send you a friend with sincere ness like the Father from above

      One who will help you grow in grace

      Help uphold you in times you can’t face

      One who will agree to disagree, on subjects of the heart

      And when others rebuke you, this will cause no part

      One that can be honest, and tell you the truth

      One that will hold on to you like Naomi and Ruth

      One who loves the LORD, with the whole heart and soul

      One who lives by His Word, teaching the gospel, being so bold

      We all need friends, and yes that is true

      But Godly friends, like a dime a dozen

      Are so rare and so few ~
