Poems God Gave Me

About the Book

I have been married for 44 years. My husband, Jim and I have 2 Children, 5 granddaughters and a great grandchild on the way. I don’t sing, dance or play an instrument, but I wanted to do something to praise God; so I ask for a gift to give back to him. He gave me poetry. This book is a collection of the poems that God gave me. I have shared them with others and they are always blessed and so am I. But I always remember to say “God gave them to me because I asked and could not write them on my own”. My book is dedicated to Dorothy Prohl who is my mentor and a dear friend. Thanks go to my husband, children, church family friends and coworkers for their encouragement. And most of all thanks to God for giving me every word in my book.

About the Author

I have been married for 44 years. My husband and I have a daughter and a son. Our daughter has 4 daughters and our son has 1 daughter. I began to write poetry about 9 years ago and after sharing some of them, I was encouraged to put them in a book. This is my first book but I don’t think is my last because I feel God is still working on me and thru me. Sometimes I got a poem from event or something someone says, some of them just come to me. I hope you enjoy poems and I hope they bless you. My poems come to me by Divine importation. “I Don’t Know About You But I Know About Me” came to me at lunch break during a Christian conference. “The Winds of God” came after I came home from a conference. Some of them are to people for their funeral. “It’s OK” was to my Aunt Nellie and “Carol” was to my best friend. “The Empty House” came after another relative passed away suddenly. “In The Night” tells how God comes to me and it is awesome when this happens.
