I have had a passion for the written word, especially poetry, from an early age. I am first and foremost a child of God-a thankful recipient of His grace. I am also a mother, a teacher, a singer,and an overall music lover. I call the beautiful southern United States home, and growing up and raising my family here has shaped who I am in many ways. I believe that life- with its various emotions, experiences, trials, and joys-is a gift from my Heavenly Father. As a poet, I hope that my work expresses this.
"My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from Him." -Psalm 62:1
Some of my poetry has been published in the online journals Simply Haiku and Notes from the Gean.

ReplyDeleteAnd I hear it.
It actually gives me a sense of calm and relief.
Something that had caused me distress lately makes me realize I should "just let go"
Your poem spoke beautifully to me just like the October wind spoke to the clinging leaves.
Thank you!
We can learn so much from nature.
