My published book of poetry is entitled Songs of the Soal on the Road to Recovery. It is on sale through Amazon. It is also attached to this post. This is my new material, circa 2024 HealingI writhe till I die. I pray, till I lay. In God's loving arms, Awaiting new dawns, When I feel, till I heal, And grow, till I know, The gain from the pain— The new that comes from the old. Getting to Heaven
Drowning in a pool of misery, I sink to the bottom. But I do not die. Invisible hands, From somewhere above. Raise me up, And I soar like a dove. No more pain. Nor more sorrow. Only love. And a brighter tomorrow.

This is my favorite poem because it sums up my entire life looking for love.
The Awaited Suitor
My heart pines away; I sing the blues. I ask now and then: Where are you?
Are you real? Are you there for me? When will I see you? When shall it be?
I face the horizon; I take Christ's hand. In great expectation, I look over the land.
Nothing happens; oh woe is me. What shall I do? When will it be?
With tears in my eyes, I look up and smile. Christ cups my face, and after awhile
He softly speaks, and breaks the news: "I am the one who was chosen for you."
"Can you love me, year after year, As you would have loved him if he had appeared?"
My face grew pale, and my body shook. I took his hand, too frightened to look.
Then I agreed to give it a try. My suitor was here; he had finally arrived.
