Miracles of Life
Upon each day we awaken, is a miracle
Look upon a flower, its beauty, its aroma
Look upon the evening sky with the setting sun
Stare up to the mountains, to their giant celestial beauty
To the forest abundant with life, thriving daily
To the oceans, their waves, hitting the shore
So many things are miracles of life
Thank our God, the one, the creator
Thank you Lord for each day, a miracle

A Crisis
We all have crises in our lives
There are those of us that seek help
There are those who abandon themselves
We ask, Who is the stronger?
The one seeking help or the one giving up
Can we see it from another view?
We are told the strong seek help
The weak give up and say farewell
The Lord is there for the weak and the strong
Seek him we must, ask help of him we must
He is waiting to be asked, and answer he shall
He will fill our heart and soul with his strength
The energy to carry on no matter what happens
And thank him we must for each day we are given
A crisis does not have to end in crises
It can be overcome with the strength of God
An obstacle that no longer impedes our decisions

About the Book
My poetry covers things from personal feelings, to family, nature, God and Mystery (In mystery I mean arousing curiosity). I want to make a difference in our world. I don’t expect to be famous but I would like people recognize or have heard of my poetry. If it can only make a small difference, I will feel as though I did something with my life.
About the Author
I am an unknown author who has always enjoyed writing, especially poetry. Poetry fills me with so many emotions from happy to sad. I don’t write for the money it may involve. I want to have people enjoy my poetry for themselves and find meaning in my poetry for themselves. The enjoyment comes from the people I can touch with my words. I am just an ordinary person with an ordinary life. In my poems I speak from the heart. I fill my poems with emotions.
I have a wonderful family of twenty-two years and three wonderful children; Joshua Thirty, Amy Twenty-one and Benjamin nineteen year old. They have given me strength during moments in my life in which I felt desperate. Depression has been one of my weaknesses that I am trying to conquer. I have learned to express those weaknesses through my words and I am given a good look at myself. Without my family and my God I wouldn’t be here today, sharing myself with all who read this story.
My personality is not an exuberant one. I am rather shy and I think my shyness drives my poetry. I always look to people like myself and wonder what I feel and think. Can I show them hope? Do they have to remain hidden from others who show an enthusiasm for life? Being someone who holds in emotions for the most part, I have a heart that burns for freedom, a freedom of emotional awareness and expression.
