I was born into a very large family. I have nine brothers and three sisters. Only eight of my brothers are still living. Raymond, the oldest, was killed at the age of nineteen while he was serving in the United States Marine Corps. It was because of his death I made the decision to enlist in the Marine Corps; when I graduated from High School.
Beginning in the late 1960s and early 1970s I wrote down my thoughts concerning the world around me. Eventually my words took the form of poetry. While serving as a United States Marine during the Vietnam War, I began to write my thoughts and feelings about my experiences. It seems that I came out of that war with a deep sense of loneliness.
Through the years I have matured and come to appreciate life and myself especially. As I have learned to love myself, I was able then to love others. I Love My God, Family, and Country. I would do anything my Country asks of me. I am so proud to be an American.
The stories I have written are taken from my own life experiences and from stories that were told to me by other Marines and friends.
My poetry is just the product of something that comes naturally. I get real strong feelings that sometimes wake me in the night and I need to write those feelings down. I write poetry about several different subjects: Love and Romance, Religious and Spiritual, and Patriotic.
When I was fifty one years old I return to school and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration.
So many things and people have touched me in my life. Some have made me stronger. Some have taught me about love.
Sometimes I stop and wonder where my poetry comes from. But I know deep inside that my God has blessed me with the abilities I have for story telling and writing. In addition to my writing I also have a small business making wood crafts.voir moins
