Capt Jed• Show poetry

I was born and raised in North Carolina and reside here today. My father was called into the ministry when I was 10 and that changed everything for the rest of my life. From that time, life had been one change right after another. For someone who doesn't care much for change, that was a traumatic experience. We moved quite a bit and that meant new schools, leaving old friends, and the never ending fear of having to relocate once again. After marriage and a tour of duty in Vietnam, I thought my life would settle down and take on the appearance of being normal. The moving did stop, and we settled in one place and have been here for over 30 years. I’ve had a few rewarding jobs none of which had anything to do with writing. I am now working on a book about my childhood and coming up as a preachers kid. In addition, I write poetry, or try. I enjoy writing poetry that is understandable but could have a hidden meaning also. My wife and daughter have been the inspiration for some of them, and I give the Lord credit for both my family and my talent. They have stood with me most of my life, and for that I am grateful.
