I feel that God has given each and every one of us gifts and talents to use in and for this world. Too many times we want to do what we want to do and don't want to answer to our natural gifts and ending never feeling satisfied nor living up to our true potential. My poetry is one of those gifts that God has bestowed upon me , and for the longest I kept that gift for myself and often at times neglecting it. I now know that my gift is to be used and shared with the world. I pray that my words will inspire some, make others feel good, make others turn to God, let others know they are not alone and at the same time let everyone that read my words know that they are loved, if by no one else, God.
