92 Years - The Poems of My Life

About the Book

Throughout my life, I have written about life’s experiences -- some in the midst of great joy, and others during times of sadness. My inspiration comes, first of all, from God, because even as a very little girl I lived with the knowledge that God loves me and hears and answers prayer. The poems reflect love for my family, and the hope and faith I have in Christ. Family and friends and their milestone events - births, anniversaries, and even deaths - inspire me to pick up pen and paper, oft times in the dark hours of the night.
