Welcome to Living in God's Rhyme
DEDICATION
We all know that Jesus Is the Son of God
and the Holy Spirit completes the Trinity.
From the beginning of time and even before,
Jesus, as God, with the Holy Spirit
created the earth and all we know as good.
So, though not always mentioned as Jesus,
this book and podcast are dedicated to him
to whom we relate in human form.
May this glorify his Holy Name.
and may it also bless you
as he has blessed me
in knowing him better.
An experience of growth,
which even now continues,
it, therefore, is offered incomplete.

2. Why poetry. I have written since high school. Read discussion with Canadian film make at first book signing.
Poetry, why would one read poetry? Maybe this will help. At a book signing for “God’s Rhyme” I had a discussion with a filmmaker from Canada (yes, Canada is across the river from Port Huron) about the first sentence on the back cover of the book, “Life is a continuous poem.” He did not understand that. I guess for him life was seen through the view of a camera lens. So for him life is a continuous movie. For me there is a poem in a weed, in a child, a storm, joy, sorrow and especially in the goodness of God, in the joy of our salvation, in the sorrow that lead to our salvation. I’m not sure that everything we experience about God can be seen through our eyes. I do know that all that God has for us can be seen through our hearts and it is in our hearts that poetry is born, where it is seen, where it lives and thrives. So why poetry, because it is how I see who I am through the great I AM. Poetry is a series of short chapters that allows the reader to follow the poet’s journey with, let’s face it, fewer words.
3. MOTHER’S DAY
On this day we pray
With sisters and brothers.
We pray for our mothers,
Who gave all they could
So hopefully we would
Know right from wrong
While singing us a song;
A song of love
And winter gloves,
A song of warm summer days
And early morning haze.
They nurtured our growth
As if having taken an oath
To protect us from harm.
Around their necks hangs a charm,
That of their children’s love
Showered down from Heaven above.
Dear Lord our prayer today
Is that our mothers may
Rejoice in us
Following Jesus.

FOR YOU TWO
Thank you Jesus for loving me,
for being able to see
that I am more
than I think I can be.
When the world
seems to swirl around
& sounds are blurred,
somehow your love is heard.
You’ve given me a...
