My Poetry

I would like to share with you one of
my poems that was recently published.

God Meets You in the Valleys

You feel that you are all alone,
but please do not despair.
There are people you don’t realize
just how much they care.

The good Lord’s by your side,
especially at this time.
God meets you in the valleys
when you have hills to climb.

Your sadness overwhelms you.
You don’t think you want to live.
You have to straighten out your thoughts;
you have so much to give.

The good Lord holds your hand
when sorrow’s in your heart.
Please don’t you lose your grip.
Right now that wouldn’t be smart.

Hold tight onto your faith
this is a difficult time.
God meets you in the valleys
when you have hills to climb.

I want Candy

I have been away for a while as I have been feeling a bit under the weather. I am back and have found some more links to delicious candy.
At http://jacque4u2c.blogspot.com/2009/05/paper-blooms-challenge-6-blog-candy.html Jacque is giving away an altered notebook that any mother would be happy to receive. Check out her blog and leave a comment
Go to http://marceascraftingcorner.blogspot.com/ and enter for Marcea's great candy, then check into the other she advertises. I'm heading over to those right now! One only ships the grand prize to Europe and the UK but does have some digital downloads if the winner is in the states.
