Dedication

For my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, without whom, I would never have survived 45 years on planet earth. Jesus Raised me, Carried me, Comforted me, Taught me, Guided me, Saved me, and Ultimately, Set Me Free! I will NEVER be able to repay Him for His Love, which is beyond measure, nor His time, which He is beyond generous with. Jesus is my Savior but also my Best Friend Above All.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. - KJV

Allow Me to Introduce Myself

I had stars in my sandbox!

I used moonbeams as slides!

I showered in the rain! -

Under the sun I dried!

I ate honey from the hive

Drank fresh dew

Played with the wind and always

Tagged along with some sunbeams I knew!

I understood the language of birds -

Sang with them every morn’!

I was on fire in my youth! -

A real ethereal storm!

But then came the thunder And the lightening too

As my days of youth were being spent

Older and older I grew -

I began to forget all that I knew!

But the wind does not forget

And still whispers my name

Wildflower it speaks

You are not to blame.

Chatting with Jesus over Tea

"Ah, to love, to truly love

As I have loved,

Is to be completely free"-

God said to me quite cheerfully

As we sat in my garden

Chatting over tea.

I often recall the smile on His face

As those words just rolled out

Like a fine red velvet carpet reserved –

For Royalty!

And what a sight to see

Jesus was smiling but alas

A tear slid down his cheek as well -

"A tear
