Before you start to read about me let me assure you that my use of "!!!!" are not at all yells as one site member believes, but they show how strongly I feel about what I have said in a sentence!!!! Any of you who's poems I've commented on know I use these marks a lot in them, as well!!!!!!! Please don't judge me by the marks I use in my writing.....
I am a 58yrs old poet who is disabled from my primary career as a RD, MS. PH.D. I was married to the love of my life at 14yrs. He was 17yrs!! No, we did not have to get married! We were very much in love!!!!!!! After we were married I went on to finish high school, my BS and my MS... People told my parents I would not finish high school marring so young... Well, they were wrong!!!!!!!!!!!! Although, you can't tell by looking at me, I have MS, Lupus, had 6 strokes and an uncountable number of mini strokes!!!!! After finishing a tour in the US Air Force, my husband and love of my life was killed on his job when our youngest of three children was 3yrs old!!!!!!!!!! I thought I was going to die too. I could not!!!! I had three small children to raise!!!! Three years later my mother died, then my father and then my grandmother..... I thought I was alone!!!!!!! But, no I wasn't I had three beautiful children and I had the LORD!!!! HE has kept me going for all these years and continues on 'til now!!!!!!!!!!! My children all turned out pretty good, I think!!!!!!!! They are great parents and my oldest son and daughter are managers at the companies where they work!!!!!! My youngest is a son and lives very near me, now. He is not married but has a son and a daughter and is a manager with my ,now, husband's tree service company. I think they turned out pretty good..... although, there were some rocky times over the years......... I know their father, grand mothers and grand fathers would have been proud!

There is only one thing, now, in my life, besides my children, grand children and my poetry that anyone can get me on my "soap box" about and that is MY LORD and SAVIOR JESUS. CHRIST JESUS is working with me on this. So, please be patient with me, GOD is not through with me yet!

"Hold on to what you truly believe, want, know and love and stand fast or for something you're not happy with you will surely fall into and be stuck with!" My father gave me this bit of info. when I was about 12 years old and I always remembered it because my dad
always told me the truth.

Twelve Sayings I live by!
Number1
JESUS is my mother, farther, sister, brother, husband, counselor, doctor, lawyer, friend and my all in all!
Number 2
Life is a precious commodity treat it as the valuable possession that it is.......
Number 3
Let no one make you feel small............
Number 4
Always have a positive attitude about yourself.......... No matter what anybody says!!!!!!!!!
Number 5
You can be anything you want to be, as long as, you put GOD first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Number 6
If you never tried on my shoes, you can't know how they feel on my feet!!!!!
Number 7
If you're engaged to be married and break up, don't give that engagement ring back. If you
know you've earned it, some way or another!!!
Number 8
When I die try not to cry long for me. I'm okay, happy and at rest until my SAVIOR calls for me.
Number 9
Give your loved ones flower and gifts while they can still smell, see and taste them. keeping a grave or vault adorned is not for your loved one's pleasure, only for other people. Your loved one doesn't live there anymore.

I have traveled extensively, but I've not been to the two places I want most to go, Italy and
Paris...... but I will!!!!!!!!!!
