I am 45 years old. I love to write prose. I have 5 books out right now. They can be purchased from my website, Amazon.com, and PublishAmerica.com. My book "A Call to the Christians" has been called "Illustrations of Inspirations", and "A Crime of Passion" by many. "A Call to the Christians" are a variety of 60 poems. The poems range for titles like "Sold", "Troops", "Fathers Knee", and "Just From Me".
Here are the words to "Just From Me":
Just From Me
Here's a petal, just from me,
when I once scraped me knee.
Here's a petal, just from me,
when you rocked so gently.
Here's a petal, just from me,
when you sang endlessly.
Here's a petal, just from me,
when all odds where against me.
Here's a petal, just from me,
when I rebelled against you.
Here's a petal, just from me,
when you sat waiting expectantly.
Here's a petal, just from me,
when you prayed forgivingly.
Here's a petal, just from me,
because you gave unselfishly.
Here's a petal, just from me,
to weave in the untold parts.
Mom ...
... here's a petal,just from me,
sown by the thread of your heart.
God guides each petal,
as he creates the Masterpiece.
The book Latch Key Kids has many great poems about childhood experiences. Here is one of the writings' from that book:
Broom Closet
Down the hall, on the left side of the wall,
was a broom closet. We knew,as chldren,in
Elementary School that our conduct was
alright unless we got sent to the broom
closet. We always heard stories in class of
Johnny or Adam getting a paddling in the
broom closet. My heart sunk down into my
stomach. I was scared to death, as I
walked from desk. I went out the door and
to the broom closet. In my mind I feared
a paddling. I imagined bending over to
take my licks. Mrs. Speck was waiting on
me there. She said that I had been talking
to much. What a relief I felt, when she
asked me not to talk as much. It only took
one trip to the broom closet for me to
learn to be quiet.
This is a sample of the writings that I have written. "Those Were the Days" are stories of the memories of my children growing up. "A Call to the Christians 2" is an addition to "A Call to the Christians".
One of the writings out of "Those Were the Days" is Thump.
Thump
It was a normal afternoon. I was standing
in the kitchen cooking supper, when I heard
a thump on the house. I kept hearing this
same noise. I looked out the window to see,
my five year old son throwing , a ball
against the house. I watched quietly, as
he repeatedly threw the ball and waited,
on it to return to his glove. He was a
great ball player. He coudl turn a double
or triple quickly. He had good eye, hand
coordination. He reminded me of his Dad
playing ball years before.
