The desire to write never manifested itself until recovering from a life-threatening illness in 2005. A need to collect my thoughts and feelings to pass on to my family and inspirations of my faith in God gave birth to my journey of writing.
Today, the Christian Poet and his family serve the poor and needy on the streets of Oklahoma City each week. Some of his current poetry reflect upon this journey.
Life is such a journey. From Hawaii to Los Angeles, Ca to Bakersfield, Ca to Yukon, Ok. From childhood days of school, bowling and fishing to college and work and travel. From searching and wondering to a place of security, hope, and peace.
May the inspirations of my pen be a reflection of love, mercy, and grace and bring a reader's heart in touch with my loving God.
A friend's husband died in an auto accident. When the cruel realities of this world take away a loved one, how do we fill the emptiness inside? Where does our hope and help come from? How do we fill the loss in our lives?
If life is like a flower, mine has withered and died
My tears they flow like rivers, can't open my eyes

Somber moments of life
with the uncertainty of change
Knees are trembling
Heart feels so weak?
...
You just caught a glimpse of reality spoken
softly whispered for years to your ears
Somehow deafened by the calls of your world
a voice now murmurs deep in your heart
...
Do we ever really notice
the many faces of love?
Not just romantic and sweet
Not just kindness and affection
...
Yeah, I know I done a lot of stuff
Wasn't just the wrong place, wrong time
Like so many in the 'hood
Getting into trouble was easy when younger
