Often we expect everything on a silver platter. If given we would not appreciate it and take our blessings for granted

Any type of illness can be devastating Some are far worse than others, isolating once active souls into a mere shadow of who they once were

I always get attached to my patients, for I try to think of that patient as a member of my own love circle. They talk a lot, but I feel I learn the most by watching the love and concern in their eyes. I pray daily I will never cease to show my patients the love of God in me.

Dedicated to the patients that I have attended to over the years. Although
I might not know them when they first arrive, the love and devotion of their families tell their true story. Regretfully not all patients survive, But the love they have given their family will last forever.

Nurses have a heart of gold . . . They are in a thankless profession and deserve a note of encouragement I know - I am a nurse.

Dedicated to all nurses everywhere, but especially those on Seton one at
Good Samaritan Hospital in Dayton, Ohio.

Sometimes souls touch before eyes see. Creating the most intimate love of all. For Love starts in the heart. Sometimes we see through colored glasses and do not see the beauty of the soul

For Rushelle and Andrew, who correspond and love with many miles apart, from California to Ohio.

This poem was written for my bestest friend in all of the world. We have been friends for 14 years and have always supported each other in all of our endeavors.

I wrote this poem for the most dedicated person in the world, Cindy.

Every one has a little Scoobie in them. Afraid at first but will rise to the occasion. Although it helps if you have a scoobie snack or two.

There is a time for every season, but As a mother would tell you when a child gets his days and nights mixed up, We don't know when to expect the fury of what's intended. I hope this poem lightens your heart and gives you a chuckle . . .

There is a price to pay for love - you must give love back in return. I hope this poem expresses that the cost is little enough, to receive so much in return.

Nothing feels better than to surrender all of yourself to the one that you love. Pure, honest, and undefiled love will create the tightest bond ensuring a lifetime together.
