My Daughter’s book…
I remember the first time i realized my child became a writer, a author of books. I was at the local library and saw a little book in the non fiction section. i thought to myself… that looks a lot like Terris book” . and pulled it out to see ,it was her book…a shock went through me. I knew she had written it. i’d already read it. i had a copy for months…yet it hit me that day..she made up her mind at the age of 9 that she wanted to do it. by 12 she was being published and before she’d graduated from school she had her own column for teenagers in the local Newspaper and 17 Magazne had featured her as a poet..She was running a pen pal club with over 5,000 paid subscribers..This girl didn’t just write she was a writer. a master of all the tricks of a writing trade. …this is just a few of the things i was blessed to watch her do…She now has a book “365 days of walking the red road”, that has done great…This page is to introduce her photography… her hobby always was Photography, but she’s serious these days. real serious……check out her pictures by floowing the link below..
to find her book…just google her name…she’s easy to find…

A daughter to be very proud of.
Angie,
I’d be proud to write a poem for her…is she the one who lives upstairs by the beauty shop?
God made 2 loving parents
who gave me my start..
with four gentle arms that
held me close to their heart..
Then He gave me two daughters
with 8 hands to hold
4 more loving arms that
held me tight growing old..
my life from beginng
to end has been grand
with 40 gentle fingers
holding tight to my hand…
they are more than my family
they are no less than a friend..
those 4 faithful hearts that
I knew start to end…Amen..
I hope this is one she likes..if not, i can write something else..glad to see you found my poetry blog……hope you enjoyed some of them.
i have a site just for pictures of ohio

hope all is well with you and your mom and sisters…
In Faith

Connie,
you wrote a poem for my sisters & I how we have taken care of our mother. You might remember Mono who resides at the county home with mom. She wanted our poem to copy & put her family in it. I thought you could write her own poem since ours was wrote special for us. She was going to put it on her tombstone. She’s looking for something that states her love for her 2 daughters, Dodee & Lorie & also her parents Joe & Dorothy. I hope you get this message. Angie Barringer
