Laying Down My Pen

<p>I invite you to read my book of poetry. It was written to reach out to loved ones family and friends even strangers at the time.<br />Everyone has pain and suffering and sorrow at some time in their lives. Some deal with it with prayers finding comfort with others or some in anger. Each poem that I wrote was for that person and written from my heart.<br />I have written poems of death birth funerals weddings divorces birthdays baptisms special holidays and sentimental/memories. As I wrote poems about death I came to realize that life does go on after death that death only removes the body not the soul or our memories.<br />Every poem I wrote before writing them I sat in quiet time with God asking him to help me choose my words giving me inner feelings of that person. I felt this was a given gift to me from God and my way of reaching out to others. I put no periods at the end of my writings as I want them to continue to go on and on.<br />I thank you for reading my book of poems. I am honored and I pray and hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them.</p>
