Angels watch over us all. In honor of Veterans Day, I found this inspiring photo to capture hope.
It has been a century since World War I has ended: November 11, 1918-2018. We owe so much to the men and women who serve our country. I wanted to write a poem that addressed the safety of our military. I have a special veteran in my life, Mr. James Tucker.
My heart was also thinking of those who are suffering great losses in the California fires and those who are grieving from recent mass shootings. Oh, the list goes on. I felt prayer for everyone was needed and also for angels to watch over all.
Hebrews 13:2 King James Version (KJV) Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
Who are your angels? Who can you pray for while asking God and His angels to guide them?

Most recently, I wrote the sequel, Beyond the Center of Grief. It is my mission to continue my Summerfort Grief Series for teens. The deaths of my parents inspired me to write. It's my goal to share my grief journey through stories and poems. I write from the heart with the hope to help others heal.
