About Me

I was born in Jerome Idaho in 1940. The oldest of seven children. I have been “married to an angel” for 50 years (see poem of same title in “Love” catagory).  We have 4 children, 13 grandchildren, and 3 great-grandchildren.

I have always enjoyed writing poetry. I wrote my first poem when I was eight years old for the prettiest girl in my class. It got a big smile so I was inspired to write more. I wrote the poem “Broken Chain” at the passing of a family member, and “Teardrops” when we lost a grandchild. I have written, and copyrighted, over 300 poems on many different subjects, and for many occasions. Some are licensed and can be found on wall plaques, woven throws, cups, bookmarks, and even headstones. At the encouragement of family members I have started this website where many can be found in twenty eight different categories.

My first book titled “Poetry Of Comfort & Hope”, is about to be published.
Watch this site for the release date.

The greatest happiness I receive in writing comes from the many messages I receive telling me of the comfort one my poems has given to someone who has lost a loved one. If you would like to use one of my poems for a funeral or wedding program, or for a personal reason, simply e-mail me for permission.

I hope my thoughts, put to rhyme, helps to remind us of the importance of God, family, friendship, country, love, compassion, and humor in our lives.

I welcome your comments, thoughts, and suggestions.
