My name is
Shirley Jean Pickens. I was born April 5, 1938.
I have lived in the Atlanta, Georgia area all but the two years of my life
that my family and I resided in Winter Heaven, Fl. in my younger years.
I had always loved
and remember the times my Dad would read me books and poetry.
I would sit on his lap and he would read to me for hours on end.
ALWAYS TO REMEMBER....NEVER TO FORGET....
I began writing
poetry at the age of fifteen. My love of poetry
has always been a part of me.
I graduated from
Decatur High School June 1, 1956 and was married
to my husband, James, June 1, 1957.....45 years and counting....*smile*...
We are retired and enjoy travelling, fishing and spending time with our
family,
grandchildren and friends. We have three children...actually six
since we don't call
their spouses "in-laws." ....*smile*.... We have three grandchildren and one
on the way mid December.
God has been so
good to all of us. I give Him all the glory and praise.
I always try and remember Him and the blessings He has given in my little
poems,
for it is He who puts the words in my heart to write.
Through my poetry,
I have gained so many wonderful friends on the net.
I would like to thank each of you for your blessed friendship in Christ.
To all of you, I
wish a wonderful "God-filled" "Blue Sky Day" always.
I truly hope that
in some small way, my little poems will be a true blessing
to all those who read them.
