Comments:

He Took the Nails

A young man died
On a hill today
“CrucifyHim”
I heard the crowd say

He hung there lowly
For all to see
I had but one thought
It should have been me

He took the nails
He paid the greatest price
He took the nails
A supreme sacrifice

Tho’ some did think
This was the end
On the third day
He rose again

He lives today
For all to see
Within the hearts
Of those who believe

He took the nails
For all the world to see
He took the nails
To set men free
He took the nails
HE TOOK THE NAILS

Your Book

If your life was a book
would you sit upon a shelf
wishing readers would
choose someone else

Keeping your cover closed
hiding all the pages
that might hold truth
for all ages

The time has come
to open our lives
to show the pages
without disguise

Let people see
things you’ve been through
It will help them
and benefit you

Get off the shelf
shake off the dust
let everyone know
in whom you trust

I had no idea that you wrote a book. Wow! And especially on the city of Wichita.
I wrote a book of inspirational poetry in 2009 call Showers of Inspiration. It started when I was diagnosed with a brain tumor. A good friend of mine an fellow author urged me to complete the book and he would get it published. I still write now and then and have compiled close to six hundred poems
