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
