Short description

The poems and stories here are all pieces of my life. They chronicle my thoughts and lessons learned from the time I was growing up country, through love’s joys and agonies, surviving the death of a loving husband, to a life of service to God. I know now that through it all God was watching over me even though, for many years, I was unaware of His care.

I grew up on a farm in southwest Michigan. We had no electricity, no running water, and an “outhouse” in the back yard. We got electricity the year I graduated from high school. The beauty of growing up in a rural area in the 1940s was that we didn’t know any other way of life. With little communication, we thought everyone lived just the way we did.

I have become used to modern conveniences. I really wouldn’t want to go back to the “good old days”. But if some tragic disaster should happen, and I had to live off the land, I know that I could survive.

I started writing poems at the age of 15 as a way of expressing my deepest feelings, which were (and still are) difficult for me to share orally.
