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.

This is so lovely.... I am taken back to singing lullabies to my babies.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. "heavy air" is a good choice.
ReplyDeleteHeavy air and fretful babies. How I remember those hot nights when it was too hot for the children to sleep and the many lullabies sung to calm them.
