These poems have carried me thru a lifetime of love and memories. These poems reflect my childhood, young love, motherhood, and great, great loss. We should all remember sometimes ordinary uneventful days turn into extraordinary memories, in time. Memories are God's gift for the soul. Everyone has a story in every heart. I pray one or some of my poems find a place in your heart. Every heart is a place for love and happiness and is given from the giver of life to all of us. As I face my eighty-four years, I face the known and the unknown, I will face it all with love. Love is the answer, and love never fails. Praise God for his purpose, praise God for his plan, and praise God for his gift of everlasting love.
