I grew up in small towns in Texas and Kansas, most had around 3,000 or less in population.

I loved the values and ways of small town living and it inspires many poems.

Also I have always had a wild imagination and am a hopeless romantic and love nature and that combination inspires some fanciful tales.

Having a mind so full of life, love and laughter has helped me through many hard times.

My maternal grandparents were an inspiration to me in loving and enjoying the beauty of nature.

I started writing after the death of my 5 month old son.

I was asked to write some poems for weddings so I did and

they will be posted on here.

*I was gone for a while so I am reposting my poetry.*

Since I love music so much I added a song to each one,

a song that seemed to go so well with each poem, enjoy!

I hope you enjoy reading my poetry as much as I enjoyed writing it.

"Never Give Up, The Best Is Yet To Come."

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a beautiful day.

  "Flying Without Wings" by Westlife


You find it in the strangest places,

Places you never thought it could be,

Some find it in the faces of their children,

Some find it in their lovers eyes,

Who can deny the joy it brings,

When you find that special thing,

You're flying without wings,

Some find it sharing every morning,

Some in their solitary lives,

You find it in the words of others,

A simple line can make you laugh or cry,

You find it in the deepest friendships,

The kind you cherish all your life,

And when you know how much that means,

You've found that special thing,

You're flying without wings,

So impossible as it may seem,

You've got to fight for every dream,

'Cause who's to know,

Which one you let go,

Would have made you complete,

Well for me it's waking up beside you,

To watch the sunrise on your face,

To know that I can say I love you,

At any given time or place,

You're the place my life begins,

And you'll be where it ends,

I'm flying without wings,

And that's the joy you bring,

I'm flying without wings.

"Every Time I Look At You" by iL Divo

I used to think that I was strong

I realise now I was wrong

'Cause every time I see your face

My mind becomes an empty space

And with you lying next to me

Feels Like I can hardly breathe

I close my eyes

The moment I surrender to you

Let love be blind

Innocent and tenderly true

So lead me through tonight

But please turn out the light

'Cause I'm lost every time I look at you

And in the morning when you go

Wake me gently so I'll know

That loving you was not a dream

And whisper softly what it means

to be with me

Then every moment we're apart

Will be a lifetime to my heart

I close my eyes

The moment I surrender to you

Let love be blind

Innocent and tenderly true

So lead me through tonight

But please, please turn out the light

'Cause I'm lost every time I look at you

Lost, Every time I look at you.
