I am excited about sharing my poetry. I have written poetry for over ten years and I have published my first poetry book. Here are two of the poems in the poetry book and I will be adding new poems on the website over frequently.
When you read my poems, I put Bible Scripture and Bible Questions about the scripture with each poem. I want people who read my poems to reflect on their life and their belief in God. If you do not believe in God, I hope you enjoy meditating on the scripture and realize its spiritual wealth.

Dad
Dad What a dad Very giving I am glad Gave us a living He was incredibly supportive In our life enterprises Some found him distortive Not around for his surprises He had a sense of humor But extraordinary dry He birthed a lot of boomers But they stayed nearby Three out of four Stayed extremely close Almost next door Rubbing elbows We all were tight Thick as thieves Not always alright We all had our peeves But we were a family unit My father instilled in us Wonderfully double knit A heavily constructed truss We did fight We did fuss We did bicker We did holler But we did it to ourselves No one else was allowed Not our blood or cells We never cowed Fight we could Why I never knew Fight we would Never had a clue The win was not essential But for pride and respect Everything else consequential Our glorious architect This is how we were assembled Thanks to Fred I do not think it resembled Our revered Godhead I know he believed And I am glad He was conceived By my granddad Both of them Christians Both of them strong Both of them courageous Both of them flawed Just like everyone They had their deficiencies And I am glad that I am their son Because they had many efficiencies Makers of family Makers of wealth Makers of character Makers of charity I am favored For a family of vitality Life is savored Generations of immortality |

Jackson Friends
| Jackson Friends I do not know Where they all went All had our own show We all were content We had played golf We had camped out We had partied We had eaten out We were young And we were strong Moving up the rung Singing our song Bankers and politicians Real estate developers Businessman and physicians And none a competitor You think all is good Until a few die too soon It is not understood Really not opportune Greg Richard and Paul A third of us died Meeting Gods call I wonder if I cried I know I was shocked Heart attack cancer and car wreck Their families were rocked Just cut the deck Who dies and who does not God only knows PSP MS or a blood clot Take it on the nose God is in control God knows the truth God has a plan God is the man I must trust His ways I must know it is true I must give Him praise I must accept His worldview My friends will lose Fifty percent gone We can choose Prepared to move on |
