Walking Between The Raindrops was written over a period of four years. My poetry collection celebrates those who walk with courage in difficult situations as well as highlighting life-changing stories from the Bible. God's plan for mankind is revealed in nature through his animals like the eagles and the transformation of the tiny caterpillar into a beautiful butterfly.

I have tried to reveal in a tangible form - the reality of God and the consistency of his character. He is seen in all of his creation. His love and desire for mankind to know him is limitless.

Much of the poetry has come out of personal experiences and mistakes people who have come before us have made. Mistakes are to be learned from and not to be repeated. Nevertheless, Our Creator never stops yearning for us to know and believe that he truly exists. He is all around us in every situation and event. He longs to be personally acquained with each of us. This is the message I have tried to convey through my poems.

from the poem entitled, "Empty Shoes"

Lined-up side by side
Empty shoes filled the space -
The home for a hundred feet
That were missing

Behind the disturbing sight
Stood a rifle once held close -
The weapon of fifty men
That were missing

Mounted atop each firing stick
Hung its soldier's helmet -
The topmost shield for fifty men
That were missing

In a state a flag hung its head low
Visibly recognizing the soldier's life;
Many flags grieving
Honoring the sacrificial giving
