so here I am, and I will start out with the first poem that I ever wrote. It was about 15 years ago, and I did it on the spur of the moment. A granddaughter was having problems in her teenage years, and no matter how much I wanted to help her, all I could do was send her love.
FILLED WITH HAPPINESS
Sitting here in my chair,
Counting my many blessings
Knowing that I am never alone
Knowing that I am enfolded in love
Knowing that my thoughts are
Winging their way to you,
I am filled with happiness.

Often after meditating I would pick up my pen and start to write. not always poems, many times it was just the thoughts going thru my mind. This went on for a long time, years in fact.
