Welcome! Thanks for stopping by.

I am a wife to one, mother to nine, mother-in-law to five and grandmother to 10 on earth. I live in Tennessee with my husband, four youngest children, two German Shepherds and two cats.

I love to write, especially poetry. Just as my poetry is a container for my thoughts, this site is a container for my poems.

I desire to write to the glory of God, that others would desire to see Him more clearly, love Him more dearly, and follow Him more nearly.

I love the prayer of St. Richard of Chichester:

Thanks be to Thee, my Lord Jesus Christ
For all the benefits you have given me,
For all the pains and insults you have borne for me.
O most merciful Redeemer, friend and brother,
May I know You more clearly,
Love You more dearly,
Follow You more nearly.
