    About this ebook

    That nurse is correct, I love to write. There are little things in life that can make a huge difference if you take a deep look and are quiet enough to hear them. I am so glad that I was able to hear the little things in my life. I am so thankful for the friends that have been placed in my life, I am truly blessed. I have the perfect amount of friends. The quality of friends I have way overshadows the quantity. Sometimes I wonder what others think when they read the poetry I compose. As I read it over my thoughts go to the book of Psalms and King David. Just like King David, there is praise, defeat, victory, and forgiveness tucked away in my poetry, my heart, my psalms. My Pastor use to make jokes about King David saying wow that guy had to be bi-polar! If you have ever read the book of Psalms you would have to agree. Ok, I guess what I have left to do is to list the people that I need to give thanks to. I thank God for giving me forgiveness, grace, and talent. I thank Andrea, for her encouragement. I thank Karen, for her awesome gift and her friendship. I thank Mitch for always listening even when I am in a very dark place. I thank Jen for always bringing light, laughter, and smiles to my life. I thank Dave, Merle, and Wanda for their friendship and keeping my mind and body busy when need be. Finally I thank my partners at work that keep not only communities safe but me as well!

    Tom R. Talbot

    Tom R. Talbot author of My Heart, My Psalms has spent his past fourteen years as a Corrections Officer. Tom was born in Anacortes Washington the last of fourteen children, upon graduation of high school he enlisted in the United States Navy where he served his country honorably. Tom has always attempted to cling tight to his faith in God. Over the years and through a difficult trying career he has co-parented his daughters Brittany, Joanne, and son Mason. Tom has always attempted to pass down his faith in God to his children. The past three years Tom has been teaching Sunday school in the third and fourth grade class, teaching is truly one of his deepest joys. Tom has a deep love for nature which is echoed in some of his poems. Tom also has love in his heart for the neighbors that God put around him. He definitely tries to live what is in the Bible, love your neighbor as yourself. Tom is quick to point out that the three best things he accomplished in his life are his kids. He often sits in amazement of the young adults they have become while staying ever vigilant in prayer that they may never lose their faith in God.

      Mar 7, 2022

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.
