If we never read the Bible...

"Gods Healing Power"

...He wont tell you, youll be reimburse
He heals headaches, backaches and anything worse.

With his stripes we are healed,
just call on Jesus when you are ill,
hell be right there, hes always on time,
and the service he gives, dont cost a dime...


"Good News"

their Mom is all they had,

of those who Rob and Kill,
what about the people
who work hard, for the dollar bill.

Lets hear some good news,
Its some out there...

Introduction

When I was a young teen, I did the little rhymes that I think most young people do. You know the roses are red violets are blue. Then as a young adult I started writing poems from life experiences. And as I got older the poems that were written when I was younger sounded silly to me so I threw some of them away. I would write poems every now and then. Then I just stop writing poems. Even when the occasional poem would come to me I would not write it down. Then one day I was reading my daily devotion;

As Jesus walked along, he saw a man who had been blind since birth. Jesus’ disciples asked, Teacher, why was this man born blind? Was it because he or his parents sinned?

No, it wasn’t! Jesus answered. "But because of his blindness, you will see God work a miracle for him. John 9;1-3 (cev)

And I stopped and mediated on that verse . . . . Then I though to myself, if no one was sick how could Jesus

Reviews for Touch Every Heart

[nina_n-1 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

With the stroke of the mighty pen, amazing what can happen!!!!It's been spoken one can do just about anything in a poem. Perhaps, that's why this author's writing feels so creative, wild, and free when read. Her words flow throughout the reading as that of a Poet. The words are strung together with much meaning; no wonder their easily embraced. I truly enjoyed reading the poems. Just to name a few: "Perfect World" - "If I Could Take Away the Pain" - "Good News." Truly, there are many, many more poems one can embrace behind those pages. It appears as the author wrote the poems on each page, it became a reflection of a journey -she's been along the way. The book "Touch Every Heart" is a special story of poems throughout; and does make for a great gift-giving.
