What is the aim or goal of your writing:
"This hobby has been most rewarding. I believe nearly 4000 poems have been published in some form. Subject matter is everyday life with an upbeat approach, and (I hope) a clear recognition of the Source from which all talent comes. My greatest joy is the use by others in their writings and programs."
2nd ed. says, "May you enjoy the 'trip'! while reading this poetry which reaffirms the goodness of traditional values as she brings to mind the hopes and cares of every family."
