Poems for the
Common
Man"

ABOUT
THE
BOOK:
After
an
enthusiastic
reception
of
the
author’s
first
book, "Poems
for
the
Common
Man,"
readers
wanted
more
of
these
down-to-earth,
compassionate,
and
encouraging
poems.
This
new
volume
combines
not
only
her
meaningful
poetry,
but
also
some
humorous
glimpses
at
life,
and
engaging
essays
for
daily
living.
You
will
not
find
esoteric
verse
expounding
the
virtues
of
some
obtuse
philosophy.
What
you
will
find
are
simple,
thoughtful
insights
into
life’s
daily
journey
by
a
fellow
sojourner,
which
comfort
and
bless
the
common
man.
These
are
writings
which
empathize
with
real
people,
while
offering
hope
and
reassurance
as
they
point
us
to
the
ultimate
provider
of
compassion
and
love—the
Lord
of
Glory.

"Poems for the common man"
I feel compelled to write my rhymes.
But I have longed, so many times,
For just a touch of eloquence,
Instead of my incompetence
At being able to express
Majestic thoughts with great finesse.
Though maybe not the way I plan,
My poems are for the Common Man,
With phrases such as "saved by grace,"
And seeing Jesus "face to face."
Just simple words to touch a life,
And help to heal heart-rending strife.
I'm sure the critics will agree
That no great poet I'll ever be.
Yet still I'll write about my Lord,
And seek His blessing as reward.
For I could have no greater gain
Than knowing I have eased some pain,
Or helped someone who's gone astray,
To come to Christ, the only way.
And so words flow-each one a prayer
That God might somehow use, somewhere,
To do His will, and fill a need.
Ah, that would bring me joy indeed!
