GODS POWERS
Gods powers are
Strong and true
Following thee
Through and through
Opting to hold us
When we need it the most
But letting us rest
When some of us wont
Pondering and pacing
God would never do
Any of these directions
would not be one of his endeavors
It is true
To walk the line
Straight and narrow
Far yet wide
He will not sorrow
When you see the light
Do not fear
As the lord will be with you
So don't be scared
Gods powers will always come through
Gods powers are stronger than you...
LIFE
Life has no guarantee
No full hands
No hand outs you see
Nothing is free
Free is just a word
You must work for everything
Everything you deserve
In the world around us
Fast paced it may seem
You must keep going
You know what that means
Try and try
Do some more
Work harder
Try to score
Life is what it is
Grasp it tight
don't let it go
Seek out your dreams
Before life itself lets you go...

About the Author
After being diagnosed with Breast Cancer in March 2006 I chose to put together this first collection of poetic works. I combined poetry from as early as my pre-teen years. I was 11 years old and in 6th grade when the power of words began to flow. Over 20 years later I still have the A+ on that poem. My 7th grade science teacher was an inspiration to me and was overwhelmed to find out that in the year of her retirement she would grace the cover of my book with her own work of artistry.
My poems are a collection of many different styles. Some are dedicated to my loved ones. My illness gave me one thing I do know, it gave me the time to put my pen to the paper once again. My illustrations also were created with some of this time I had spent recovering. With all of life’s hills and valleys, ups and downs, happiness and hard times, it is with great inspirational value that I dedicate this book to all Breast Cancer survivors, past, present, and future.
