Poems of Inspiration and Joy

By Clara Marleta Taylor Cummings

These poems, most of them originally songs, are a vehicle by which I have attempted to express my deepest feelings of love and admiration for my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
I hope the words and emotions found in this collection of poetry will give valuable insight
and meaning to everyone who reads them.
This book also contains a few other kinds of poems of inspiration.

May God bless you-

Clara Marleta Taylor Cummings

My parents are Walter and Nina Taylor. My children are Brigit, Majestis, Andra, Judah, Marleta, Faith, and Hope. My grandchildren are Gabrielle, Izayah, Nia, Mia, D’Sean, Judah, Elijah, and Jadah. My brothers and sisters are Joshua, Joseph, Jesse, John, Juanita, Bobbie, Mary, Sarah, Dorothy, and Nancy Taylor. I love writing about the Lord, to give all glory, honor, and praise to Him. I am a published songwriter, poet, author, and sometimes singer. I want to recognize my relatives, Asalea and Isaac Byers, who raised me, and their daughter, Deloris Byers Holcomb. I was born in 1948 in Fries, Virginia, and raised in Welch, W.Va. I attended Welch Dunbar Elementary and Junior High School, where I was an honor student. I then attended Welch High School. There, our school band played for Vice-President Lyndon B. Johnson during the “Veterans Day Parade,” and the “Welch High School Choir” sang a few selections. I was the “Soloist” in the selection “The Battle Hymn of The Republic.” This was performed in the “Pocahontas Theater” in 1963, when I was fifteen. Ironically, my nick-name is Pocahontas!
