My poetry can best be described as a personal journey lived through depression. From childhood through adulthood I have existed with depression. I have always enjoyed reading and so with reading, the idea of writing poetry came to mind. Being able to express my emotions has played a big part on my road to recovery. Seeing people like myself has helped me give more understanding of how depression affects the mind. Through my poetry I have been able to talk of these emotions through faith in others who have helped me and through my faith in God who has never left me. I try to end my poetry not in negativity but with a purposeful emotion that will give the reader hope, a hope that he or she will someday reach, that pinnacle in their lives that will help them to see beyond that hopelessness of depression.

Reflections is a book of poetry that deals with many different issues of life from professions, trucking, fishing, spiritual matters, tributes and spiritual matters.

A collection of poetry inspired by the Holy Spirit. Whether you are new on your journey with Christ; youve experienced His love and care for years, or today you are considering receiving the gift of salvation, it is my hope that Poetry 2 Ponder will be a blessing. The term vessel is likened to a tug boat for me. Prompted to step out of my comfort zone, to see God at work, has been an incredible journey. Beginning with a few poems; I began seeking God for additional inspiration. He spoke to my heart and revealed He has His own bestseller comprised of truth, inspiring stories, testimonies, and life lessons; the greatest resources in the world, sufficient for my needs. God has designed each of us with a different pattern in our tapestry. He has provided gifts and talents to be utilized for His glory. I pray there will be a poem within these pages that will nudge you in His direction.
