About the Poet
I grew up in rural North Carolina, married for 25 years to my soulmate who recently retired from the Air Force after 24 years of service. We moved from Florida to North Carolina and are members of Trinity United Methodist Church, where I sing in the choir, teach the middle school and high school youth and volunteer on the nursery staff. We have a daughter, Ashley and a son, John, both blessings from God. I've seen a lot of hard times and God has always been here for me to see me through them. I am a vessel God can use to help others in need.

The Little Things

 

 

 

stars twinkling in the night

 

a shooting star

moonlight softly glows

 sparkle of frost on grass

precious babe in a manger

the twinkle of each little light

the train running 'round the Christmas tree

don't take anything for granted

 a kiss planted on your cheek

brightly glowing steeple on a country church in dark of night

candlelight sunbeam love


don't take them for granted, please

all precious to God

they're precious to me

 the little things in life



Ephesians 5:14 For it is light that makes everything visible.

Merry Christmas 2006
