About the Author

Can you remember times in your life that you’d like to say something but you just feel awkward or tongue-tied? Most people who know me would not say I was ever at a loss for words. Usually that is true, but when I’m emotionally involved, it is more difficult to say the right words at the right time.
Throughout my life I have written poetry for various occasions especially the ones that are emotional or special for me. Sometimes my poems are funny or at least I think they are. Others tell a story or share an event.
My basic talent is singing and I have sung since I could talk. I did a lot of solo work for weddings and churches. Most of my entertaining programs were done with my father and his singing buddies. We sang all over this part of Ohio. When my father became unable to do programs, I started working up interactive programs. These programs try to get the audience involved in singing, reminiscing and trivia. My bottom line is to have fun! Everyone says the teacher comes out
during these events. I’m going to take that as a positive. Recently, I have been asked to speak at some events and those pieces are included in this book.
For the last several years I have written a Christmas poem that I share in my Christmas cards. It’s my special gift (and thoughts) I want to share with those I care about. Now, I share them with you.
I started writing poetry at a very young age and it distresses me that I don’t have some of my earlier work. Later on, I had the foresight to keep copies. In organizing this book, I surprised myself of important people and events that I did not write about. No offense was meant if someone feels left out. There are many lean years and I guess my energies were focused on my work at Marlington High School.
All the thoughts are original or stolen and my husband has made the most comments or corrections over the years. When I read my work to him, he adds his thoughts in word usage and sentence flow. Sometimes I agree - or not, and I thank him for his support, encouragement, and help.
Autumn
God’s paint has brushed the autumn leaves.
Fall colors whorl and float in the breeze.
This majestic beauty fills my spirit.
Can’t you feel it? Can’t you hear it?
I love to watch the geese honk by.
They make me smile and make me sigh.
"Dear God, Why is this time so brief?
Is it a prelude to winter’s grief?"
"My child, I think you take this wrong.
Autumn time is to make things strong.
All things need to restore and rest.
Rebirth - is the part I love the best."
I love autumn and the changing colors. What a
