God's Ever Watching Eyes

Knowing the purpose of life, that everything we do in our daily lives, working, tending our children, interacting with our fellow man.  Attending our places of worship.  The knowledge we obtain by reading books, having discussions with other people, reading your book of worship, we gain knowledge- that gives us a solid foundation.  Through our religious beliefs, we carry them over into our everyday life.  The poems are about our Lord and Savior.  The inner peace that comes with reading the Bible.  The mental clarity.  Understanding everything that comes into our lives is through a higher power.  My poems come from a higher power.  My Lord and Savior has blessed me with a gift.  The ability to express in writing, a form of poetry, which praises His Name.  I have tried to express in poetry the love our Lord has for all mankind.  When reading His word- the Bible tells of His love for us.  For example, in my poem, “Dear, Dear Sweet Jesus,” every time we lose our footing, He gives us His gift of self over and over again.  His spirit surrounds us, picking us up from the darkness, that sometimes holds us bondage.

Verneda White was born in New York City- during one of the worse snow storms- the blizzard of 1947.  The oldest of four children, she was blessed to have parents that allowed self-expression.  A loving mother, who is an advent reader- taught her through books she could broaden her horizons, along with her father, who would take the family traveling at any available given moment.  In her adult life, she was able to obtain her dream of becoming a nurse.  Foremost, Verneda has her Lord and Savior who is guiding her.  The support of her church family- Saint Peters Lutheran.  She’s a divorcee, who was blessed to have two daughters and three wonderful grandchildren, who continue to keep her focused.
