Mountains and Valleys

By Wilma J. Johnson

My book is a result of my faith in God and my love for Him. After
becoming a Christian, about 12 years ago, I ask God for a gift I could
give back to Him in praise. He gave me poetry. I began to write these
poems in a notebook. God told me to share these poems, stories, and
things He put in my heart. Then He told me to put them in a book and
sell them. This is my second book and I hope people are blessed by the
poems. I have traveled a little to share my poems to church groups and
our local art center.

I have been married for 44 years. My husband and I have a daughter and a son. Our daughter has 4 daughters and our son has 1 daughter. I began to write poetry about 9 years ago and after sharing some of them, I was encouraged to put them in a book. This is my first book but I don’t think is my last because I feel God is still working on me and thru me. Sometimes I got a poem from event or something someone says, some of them just come to me. I hope you enjoy poems and I hope they bless you. My poems come to me by Divine importation. “I Don’t Know About You But I Know About Me” came to me at lunch break during a Christian conference. “The Winds of God” came after I came home from a conference. Some of them are to people for their funeral. “It’s OK” was to my Aunt Nellie and “Carol” was to my best friend. “The Empty House” came after another relative passed away suddenly. “In The Night” tells how God comes to me and it is awesome when this happens.

I have decided to dedicate this book to all the people who have blessed and encouraged me. This includes all my family, friends, and my church family. Also my God, and Lord because

He tells me what to write.

A New Year

Here we are in a new year

Fighting new battles

And more fear

The wind of God moves across

The earth

Bending what will bend

Braking what won’t

In death, bring new birth.

So much sin here where we are

So many warnings

God has sent

We keep on struggling

Blessings and strength are spent.

We are set in our ways

And keep on living our days.

So very soon this will all end

Praise God while we can

On our knees we will bow and bend

And Jesus will proclaim

THE END!

A Poem To Satan

Satan, you old Devil

Never works on the level

Tried to wage war on me

But you could not see

Jesus won that war for me

It’s over, through, done

All my battles are already won!

You tried to steal my joy

Just get out my way ’ol boy

Truth is you make me sick

Jesus beat you with two sticks

So just get out of my way

I am here to stay!

A Soldier Came Home

A young man I never met came home from the war today

I pray for his family; what pain they must feel

This has touched many hearts and the war became more real

Still we stand a little taller as we turn and walk away

Because he fought for freedom and came home today

His soul is in God’s hands his memory lives with us

May we, when we say the Pledge keep IN GOD WE TRUST

The sky is so very blue and for awhile we will be too

Most will soon forget but the parents hearts will be broken

For he will be their son forever and is their hearts yet

Yes a soldier came home today in a flag draped box

He is a hometown hero so young in
