His Own
This poem is written from the perspective of someone who was abandoned as a child. God meets us in the depths of our despair to claim us as His very own

Living Water
I wrote this poem from reading Psalms 42:1 after facing tragedy in my life.“As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God.”

The Symphony of Sadness
This is a sonnet I wrote during a time of much grief. It likens the soundtrack of mourning to a beautiful symphony and demonstrates there is much we can learn in grief which we would not be able to under happier conditions. See Ecclesiastes 1:18.

Schizo
This Poem is about a man's struggle with a severe mental illness. It speaks of his trouble with expressing himself, depression, and having no direction in his life. He turns to God and prays for the peace of Jesus. The voices and anxiety are calmed.

My peace I give to you
Some artists were asked to paint a picture portraying the peace of God. One of the pictures submitted showed a violent storm, a raging river cascading over a water fall. Amidst the turmoil at the bottom of the fall was a bird standing on a rock singing.

Sorrow and Comfort
Based on II Corinthians: 1. I was struck by the knowledge that ALL of our comfort comes from the Lord, no mater what shape it comes example friend, song, poem, kind word, or just feeling surrounded by God's comforting presence.
