I never doubted the love my adoptive parents had for me. It was real. It was deep. It was secure. I thrived because of that love. I was so accepted as their daughter that no one could ever deflate my life or my position in the family among my cousins or other members of the family. I was proud of whom I was that whenever I was referred to as “Sam and Viola’s adopted daughter” my response was, “Yes, I was chosen.” Babies are born every day to unwed mothers and to couples who are married but don’t want a baby.

Never underestimate the arrival of the unexpected. What we consider to be a ‘hardship’ in life may only be God’s gentle hand guiding us on the road of life. Each adversity in life can bring us closer to God, even though we don’t understand why such incidents have to happen. Incidents when you feel lost, without hope, and unloved can be the times you grow closer to God. It is then that you can learn to rely on God more. It is during these times that you can be reassured of the presence of God in your life

Peaceful Blessings for Tomorrow is a collection of the poems I have written over several years addressing many different avenues of life. There are poems of love, birth, challenges, choices in life, motherhood, grief and life in the presence of God. I wrote these poems with the goal of bringing peaceful thoughts to the reader. It is my intention that the thoughts of each poem can possibly bring encouragement, joy, hope or peace to one’s inner self.
