I was born the 7th out of 9 children to a loving and supporting family. I am happily married for nearing 15 wonderful years. I am the Father of 10 children being the 26th day of February 2014. We have our 11th on the way and it will be another little boy. I have had the gift of poetry for many years and appreciate its beauty greatly. I only get to keep it if I share it. I have self published a couple hundred poems over the course of my lifetime but have not ever had much success in that arena except in one on one occasions. Most of the poems that I have written in life have been in the service of someone else and they who have received the poem have the only copy. I have written 6 children's stories in a series utilizing rhyming poetry
but they are not yet published. I am hoping to convince Simon and Schuster to publish them on a limited run. The Series is George the Giant. I really enjoy writing poetry for others and hopefully have been able to touch the lives of those who read the works I have been able to compose.
Hope for the hopeless who sit in despair,
Who bury their hands into frumpled up hair!

Feathers in the wind appear, in the window of my world,
Feathers of some creature passing in the winding swirl!
Feathers to Lift
...
When life is filled with laughter and play sounds filled with glee,
Your hearts are filled with joy and love, in all you do and see!
...
Truth is a goal that many seek while traveling in life!
Truth is a blanket in the cold, while wading in the toil and strife!
For lies are commonly in our way, but the truth is all to rare!

The day was fine and fair at first, the wind was passing by,
It's breeze was gentle sweet and kind, it's fragrance like a sigh!
I thought to see the sunshine peeking from the clouds or' head!
