    About this ebook

    When I was pondering a name for this book, I heard a small voice saying to me, "Look at you. You are like an evergreen pine that has stood the test of times. It bends in the wind, bears the summer heat and the winter snow, laughs at the coolness of fall, and gets ready for the songbirds to nest in the spring."

    At that time, the name Evergreen Pines was born.

      Acknowledgments

      Honor is given to the humble, and it is with great humility that I kneel and give God thanks for giving me the inspiration to put my words and thoughts together to produce this book of poems.

      I have to thank my husband, Alfred, and son Michael for encouraging me in completing this book.

      Special thanks to a former co-worker and friend Darlene Brown and my sister Vera Joy who encouraged and critiqued my work.

      I am confident that God will lead me in the right direction so I will be able to continue writing
