TO THE WORLD


To the world I'm a nobody                                                                                   but to God I'm a somebody


To the world I'm nothing
But to God I'm everything.

The world says I'll never succeed
but God says just wait and see.

Though the world put me in the dark
God's light brightens my heart.

When the world throws stones at me
God's arms wrap around me completely

Each attempt of stopping me always fails
because God's love always prevails.

I do not need to run and hide
Because I have God on my side.

I'm a wife and mother of 2 grown kids. I have 6 cats, Mostly females. I write a lot of poetry and have 2 novels ready to publish. I use both my birth name and my married name for writing and facebook to separate me from others that have the same names. I live with a lot of health issues. I worked till 2012 before things increased. in the way of issues. so now I volunteer in 3 places and do housework and writing the rest of the time. There is a lot more to me than just this little bit.
