The big news is the new book, but I also love writing light verse about family, faith, work, sweet stuff, funny stuff, LIFE stuff. Click below for some recent posts. (To share these verses, please share a link to my site.)
Ready or Not
We’re finally here—
We're safe in the pew!
Clean faces, clean clothes,
Each foot in a shoe,
Spare diapers and wipes,
Spare outfits (in case)...
We're ready to pray—
Not a hair out of place.
A bottle for baby
A snack for the twins—
My husband and I
Share victorious grins.
Then a chilling warm wetness
Makes grins quickly gone…
The thing we forgot?
To put diaper ON!

Free-for-All
The changing room is full of clothes—
The chairs are piled high
With bathing suits and winter coats
And jeans and shirts to try.
Pajamas, boots, accessories—
My daughters are ecstatic!
They want to keep each thing they see,
But that's not problematic.
A baseball cap! Five scarves! Three hats!
Two fancy dress-up gowns!
My budget loves it when we shop
From cousin hand-me-downs :-)
