About me; I am eight of ten children. my parents were married fifty years until May of 2006 and I lost my mother. I was born and raised in Kansas City Missouri; living in Texas now for ten years. Single now but have been married twice, two children from first marriage; one boy ,one girl. My son was shot and killed in 1999 he was 14 , my daughter is 20 now the light of my life. growing up; school wasn't a big thing for me, dropped out in the tenth grade went to work as a carpenter and have been doing it every since. I am 44 years old, I don't have a favorite book or writer, and I am not sure how to explain my writing except the day after 9/11 God gave me a poem called Lady Liberty and I have been writing every since, had never written anything in my life before that time and had no desire to, but God has been giving them to me every since.  (more to come)
