Synopsis

Childhood exposure to the rhyme and meter of poets like Poe and Longfellow gave me a lifelong love for poetry. I retired as an RN in 2015 and have been a pastor ministering to seniors for over 20 years. These callings have been special to me, but the one I've felt most deeply throughout my life has been this creative call to write poetry.This is my fifth book of poems, some previously unpublished but most written between 2013-2016. For me, poetic composition has been like preaching prophetic burdens. Both with sermons and poems, I learn more in composing them than I can ever convey through pulpit or pen. So, in sending forth this poetic collection of insights and epiphanies (mixed with a few verses of witty humor), I can only hope the Holy Spirit uses them to inspire and enlighten my readers as He has blessed their author through writing them.
