Hi.
I call myself "TheBarrd" because I love to write. I've self published a few things with Amazon's "CreateSpace", and I hope one day to be recognized as a Christian author.
That said, let me introduce myself in my own special way...

​
Who Am I
Who am I?

Sometimes I wonder...

I am a disciple...stumbling along an old, rocky path

An angel? No...just a woman...

Straining just to touch the hem of His garment

Longing to be closer, ever closer to Him


I am a mother...my children are grown...my nest is empty

But no...I am a grandmother, and I am still needed

I am a great grandmother! Once again, I sing pretty lullabyes

As I cuddle soft innocence in my arms

Who am I?

I see my reflection looking back at me...

My father's hazel eyes that reflect my every mood

Deep emotions will change them from soft brown to green

No secrets will they keep


Hair gone silver now...not as thick and curly as it once was

Falling softly around a bemused smile

The woman in the mirror...young for my years

Although those laugh lines are showing

Who am I?

I am a dreamer...I know the world is a good place

Full of wonderful, caring neighbors and friends

But I see the way that it is changing, and I fear for the future

A future I will not see...


I am a friend...I am wise in my years...I love to give advice

But I am also foolish...the child in me refuses to grow up

Although I am growing old

I still believe in the magic of childhood


My little dog, my Raggedy Andy...he is the light of my eyes

He is my joy and my comfort

Always by my side, always ready with a tail wag or a snuggle

When I need a hug

Who am I?

I am a child

I am a mother, a lover, a friend

I am old and wise, I am young and silly

I am a woman

Full of love, with a big, warm heart

But full of sadness, too

I am a writer, I am a bard

A teller of tales, a singer of songs

I am a poet

Who am I?
Sometimes I wonder...
​
I'm here to share my Christian faith with others...to learn from those who may be wiser than I, to explore new ways of thinking about our shared faith...and maybe to share a bit of what I have learned in my nearly 65 years of life on this bit of rock we call home.
I'm hoping to share some of my poetry and stories with people who love to read, and maybe meet other writers who would be willing to share with me.

Thank you for your time.

Very beautiful dear sister, and welcome to this Christian fellowship for many.

Some have church assemblies to attend; others do not, but if religiousness and its pomp be lost, it is our Savior making the path clear at immeasurable cost.

May God bless your time with us in the blessed name of Jesus. :wave2

Thank you for your warm welcome. I've not been here for an entire day yet, but already I am feeling quite at home.
I'm very glad you liked the poem...and now you know about as much about me as I do.
And I hope you will read some of my other stuff that I have posted.
