My Poetry Collection

Synopsis

My Poetry Collection contains poems for the Christian seasons, from Valentine's Day to Easter, patriotic poems, Memorial Day poems, Thanksgiving and Christmas poems. There are also poems written for children to stir their imaginations. I tried to introduce children to the tradition of St. Nick or Santa Claus, but without Jesus they would not exist. Traditions are very important to tie children to their roots. Request poems are included to honor people who are retiring or leaving for new adventures, along with poems for weddings, christenings, birthdays, deaths, and general comfort-giving. My purpose is to introduce my readers to a God who is always present in our lives if we only let Him in. I hope you find a God who can meet all your needs in any situation and discover this most wonderful thing - God has a wonderful sense of humor. I pray you will find God, fall in love with Jesus His Son, and be guided by the Holy Spirit into a personal relationship with God.
