My poetry collection started about thirty years ago. I write a poem when inspiration hits me. I stop what I am doing and write a rough draft and develop it shortly afterwards. Many of the poems came to me during valleys in my life and they helped me keep the faith. My purpose for publishing is to share the encouragement given to me by the lord. I always rave an audience. Everyone that reads my work says I should get published. I want to leave something good behind when I leave earth.
