My PoeTree with Love: A Journey 25 Years in the Making

There are seasons in life when words become more than expressions—they become seeds.

For the past twenty-five years, I have been planting those seeds through poetry, nurturing them with faith, life experiences, prayer, and reflection. Today, I am honored to share the harvest of that journey with the release of my book, My PoeTree with Love.

My PoeTree with Love is a collection of inspirational, homegrown poems that have blossomed over decades of living, loving, and growing. These poems were not written overnight. They were cultivated through life's victories and challenges, watered by prayer, strengthened through perseverance, and grown in love.

Just as a tree grows branch by branch, each poem in this collection represents a branch of the soul. Some were formed during moments of joy and celebration. Others emerged through seasons of sorrow and loss. Together, they tell a story of growth, healing, resilience, and hope.

The title, My PoeTree with Love, reflects the heart of this collection. Like a tree rooted firmly in fertile soil, these poems are grounded in faith and lived experience. Every poem is a leaf on that tree, offering shade to the weary, truth to the searching, and healing to those who find rest beneath its branches.

Within these pages, readers will discover reflections on love, family, faith, perseverance, gratitude, and the beauty of everyday life. My hope is that each poem speaks to your heart in a personal way, reminding you that even through life's storms, growth is possible and beauty can emerge.

This book is more than a collection of poetry; it is a testimony. It is evidence that our experiences—both joyful and painful—can bear fruit when surrendered to God and transformed through faith. Every poem carries a piece of my journey, and it is my prayer that these words encourage, inspire, and uplift all who read them.

As I release My PoeTree with Love from my heart to yours, I do so with gratitude for every lesson learned, every prayer answered, and every season that helped shape this collection. Thank you for joining me on this journey.

May you find comfort beneath its branches, strength within its roots, and inspiration in its leaves. Most of all, I pray you find love.

With Love,
