title: Inspirational Poems of Love, Life and Encouragement: A Witness of Love
author: Patricia Parish
description: I was born in Canada and moved to the United States when I got married at a young age. I had a wonderful family whom I saw on a regular basis over the years. I remember many times coming home from school seeing my mother writing poetry, but I never ever read any. It wasn't until after she passed that we found all her poems. It was very exciting to me to be reading thoughts and feelings that she shared on those pieces of paper. Later I typed them all up and put them in a safe place. Later in life my six year old son started to write love poems to me and again I saved them and years later typed them up. Reading them in later years was so wonderful as I could feel his heart and his love for me and his family. I intend to one day write a book of his poems. I never wrote any poetry until about eight years ago. There were so many thoughts in my head that I didn't want to lose so I started writing. I find it so exciting to put all the words in my head and heart in a book to share with others and most of all to share my love for the Lord. I truly believe that the Lord led me to this place and I pray they will be a blessing to you.
