I have been writing poems on a variety of life and world events for about 25 years. Most were written for people who's lives were recently changed through some challenge or death of a loved on. I take requests for free on my website - http: //www.sacredpoems.com. There are a few hundred posted on the site. I have begun combining the poems with images to try and convey more of the feeling behind the words.
It used to be so easy
And then something changed
All you took for granted
Is suddenly rearranged
...
It’s times like these we question
The choices that we make
When left to our devices
We can’t right our mistakes
...
Cast a line or two for me
In a lake, or stream or salted sea
I like it out there on the boat
It’s nice to dream or sit and float
...
Many times I faltered
And many times I’d fall
But each time you were with me
To get me through it all
...
Each step on the journey
Brings wonderment and joy
And every step means possibilities
For every girl and boy
...
