Cool People
Bring blessings
like mountain breezes and well water
Soothe
as warm thoughts do
Heal

Inspire reachers
to unveil the richness
of God’s grace
Beauty-filled people

Imagination, Faith, Freedom and LoveJoy fashioned a child
The people rejoiced with such exuberance

When she breathed, possibilities emerged
Her presence felt as laughter’s lingering satisfaction
Each person understood in their own way
Appreciating, absorbing, appreciating
Gaining permission to be

a look inside my next book
Lovely
It was a picture painted beautiful,
that is my love for you,
it has been a wonder to embrace
the life that flows through the joy of loving someone
as lovely as you
Something created from above,
Gods gift of a perfect love are all the things I have in you,
another something wonderful that has come true
In all that I may ever say surly this is beauty at its best,
a lifetime of happiness
