Praying with Poetry

I was born to two wonderful Irish parents on a cold winter morning in a small town. They raised me with good moral values.

While in high school, I began to write poetry and made cards for the love of my life. His name was John McQuiston. We were wed two years after we graduated. Our love was truly a match made in heaven. Little did I know I would become a widow at age twenty-three. Tragically, he was the victim of a senseless crime. I gave birth to another baby boy shortly after my husband died, so I had two boys to raise.

My family was very loving and supportive. I never remarried. My love for John was so strong, and my love for Jesus has carried me through all my years.

Recently, I've been inspired by the Holy Spirit to write Christian poetry. I hope you like the poems I have written, and I pray that Jesus will speak to your heart.
