Before you start to read about me let me assure you that my use of "!!!!" are not at yells as one site member believes, but they show how strongly I feel about what I have said in a sentence!!!! Any of you whoes poems 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 57yrs 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 5 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!

I try to keep these on most of the time!!!!!!!
I consider myself a strong woman!!!! To get to know me better, please read my poem,
"Bayou Offspring!". It will explain much about who I am!!!!

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!
_________________________________________________________________
If you want to really know me, read my poem "Bayou offspring!"

"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.

Ten 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.
Number 10
Never allow anyone to steal your joy, no matter how hard they try!!!!!!!!!!!
____________________________________________________________________
I have traveled extensively, but I've not been to the two places I want most to go, Italy and
Paris...... but I will!!!!!!!!!!
"They take credit cards! I should know!!"
____________________________________________________________________
My hobbies are: writing and reading poetry, also, good novels, cross stitch, collecting music boxes, Angels and Cherubs.
____________________________________________________________________
In my spare time, if there is any, I take classes at the University to keep my RD current, following all of Tyler Perry plays, going to see The Alvin Halley dancers (been a long time since I've this..don't know if they still dance since his death) and fill in when I need to as a secretary for our business.. I, also, like horror movies and most all music!!

Lyrical Rain on February 21Hey! havent heard from you in a while and so i just thought id stop by and check on you. i know we lost contact for a minute but im still here and ive still been praying very much for you. Anyways keep the faith and dont give up. Keep inspiring people in the ways you do. You have a testimony that seriously needs to be heard. Youve helped me in so many unimaginable ways and I will always keep you in my thoughts. From your trials and tribulations of being sick and disabled I have gained strength bc i too am going through some of these things. So i just wanted to say thank you and I dont know you personally but I love you. And everything that you go through just remember To God Be The Glory.
