Children will enjoy these inspirational poems which are written in an easy-to-understand style. All ages can enjoy this book with the poet's original art included.
The author's desire is to pursue after God and share this journey with others, especially children. This book cuts across several categories: poetry, motivation, inspiration, children's stories, and very colorful art.
This poet's writings are sometimes considered mystical, but are written in a conversational style. Her art is folk-art resembling the style of Grandma Moses. The pictures are memories of her childhood travels in the back woods of Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee and Georgia. The art is child-like but demonstrates a mastery over the uses of bright colors.

For you're closer to Heaven

and pick yourself up
and laugh like a child.

anger held in his heart,
and that gives him the chance
to have a new start.
