As a child starting in the third grade
I always loved creative writing.
This was the subject I liked best.
All of my writing seem to be poetic in form
And with an imaginative power of rhyming
It seemed that everything I wrote,
The first word would sound like the last,
For example, "love from above."
I never knew why this was.
As I grew older, my writing did not
Change very much.
Rhyming of words always made me smile.
I did not realize that this became my style of writing.
As I got older, on into my adulthood,
As I would read the Bible,
Certain scriptures would peak my interest.
I would write off to the side what it meant to me,
Always in poetic style,
Such as, "Luke 8:15 those with a noble and good heart"
In the form of a poem.
I would scribble these poems on whatever
Piece of paper that was
Available and date it.
In 2009 I had a brain aneurysm.
During that time, God was healing me.
I began putting these scribblings in dated order.
As I shared these poems and thoughts
With my daughter and grandsons,
They were so inspired by them.
They encouraged me to write a book
Of poems, thoughts, and quotes.
I started sharing with others.
As I was called on to recite my poems,
I was encouraged
To publish them and share with others.
I amazed myself by what I had written.
I realized that it wasn't about me.
This was meant for others to read and see,
See with the spiritual eyes
