My poetry is often created within my struggles, worship, honesty, and prayer for myself and others. It explores the secrets of the soul and the struggles of heartache, difficulty, doubts, discouragement, temptation, and worship. Many of the poems below are from my first book, “Everyday Matters.” When you click the title of a poem, it will bring you to a blog entry. You will find the poem at the bottom of the blog entry.
With Love and Joy,
Sandy
