My Poetry

I started this blog so I could neatly archive my work. You should find my poetry very diverse. I would like to believe there is something here for almost everyone.

It was only recently that I became interested in poetry. I started taking care of my mother after she suffered a stroke and we began writing stories and poems together. It has been very therapeutic for us both.

This isn't a complete collection of my poetry, my first poems I self published under the moniker, A Pet Banana Production. The first self published book, "A Pet Banana" is a rhyme/story about colors and the second is a collection of poetry I created with my mother titled, "An Elephant is On My House." I hope you enjoy my writing and I would love a visit to my author page!
Thanks!

An Old Torn Bible

I cursed the heavens,
when I didn’t get my way
I laid blame at God’s feet,
every night and every day.
I was give an old torn Bible,
and began to read His Word
I opened it from being curious,
because of things I have heard.
I cried with all my heart,
as feelings welled up in my chest
I finally saw the Light,
and just how much I was blessed.
I know now of my Savior,
after all this time I could finally see
I couldn’t hold back the tears,
because on that cross He suffered and died for me……
