Have Inspiration-Will Travel

by Cynth'ya Lewis Reed — Read all 584 poems by Cynth'ya Lewis Reed

The 20 CAPE poems (Community Action to Promote Education) under the header of "Norma's Kids" will be removed from this website as part of my workshop portfolio.

Beginning Autumn 2004, I will be working to promote myself as a part-time contractual consultant and motivational speaker, working with non-profit groups, colleges, womens centers and community arts councils around the country. (Note: This is not a whim nor a hobby, but a calling that has been chasing me around for at least 9.5 years, and I'm deciding to just let God win. It's the purpose of my life (even if I had to wait to be nearly half a century old to arrive at this conclusion.-LOL.)


First appearance will be with the Louisville (KY) Arts Council's premier National Community Arts Summit and Street Fair, Sept. 9-11, 2004. Click on "Events" for details and registration.

Poem Artwork
Norma's kids were so creative
Expressing rhythms and rhymes,

Their esteem would not have risen
if I had not shared my time;

Others share appreciation
of the way my words come thru,

And if it helps to change one life,
then perhaps there is more I can do;

Every new step brings challenges
To the point where we have no clue,

But this is a step I am willing to take
Helping others dreams come true ;

So if you know of anyone out there
Who is seeking a speaker who's "classy,"

Then please mention to them the name "cynth'ya lewis reed". . .
Word is out she's a midlife chic
who's upbeat and "sassy."

... and I've only just discovered you, dear Cynth'ya! But go you!!!! I can't tell you what this does for me because, in my own small way, I feel that God is likewise "pushing me out of the nest" and taking me out into the world to add a "voice" in some shape or form - although that will be by way of a Creative Writing course to start with, to get me established! Your story here has deeply touched and inspired me! May you - and others through you - be richly blessed in the purposes He wishes to bring about through you. We truly serve an awesome God who has nothing but good in the plans and provisions He makes for us. May your obedience and your heart's desire be rewarded.
