Hi
there, welcome to my webpage. I am a man with a passion for Poetry. I
live in Australia, and have been blessed with three children, Ruth,
Angela, Jeremy, and a granddaughter, Stacey. I began writing when I
was seven years old, and was brought up in various Orphanages, and
though life has thrown me a few curves, I know that God has been there
for me. I became a Christian in 1975, and have been through 2 failed
Marriages. These experiences have made me call out to God. I praise
him for the changes he has brought about in me. I am a work under
construction. I pray these words might bless you richly, and that you
too, may be an encouraged. |
Pictured are my daughter Ruth, my granddaughter Stacey,
and myself….. |

This was the first
time I saw Stacey. As you can see, one proud granddad. |

This
is my Daughter Angela, who has a passion for life. She is artistic,
and some of her Paintings are included in this web site. She has
encouraged me to strive for excellence, and to live each moment. She
is not just my daughter, but my friend. She loves snowboarding,
travel, and meeting people. Though we don’t see a lot of each other
these day’s, we stay in touch. She works in the Travel Industry, which
will enable her to travel widely.

This
is a picture of Ruth, Stacey, Peter, my friend Lorraine, and myself.
Just like the communication between Stacey and Lorraine. The desire of
my heart, is that God Himself, might show you His love through these
Poems. I often cry at the words that God gives me, if the words I
write can touch me, I pray they will minister to you as well. |

There’s a Cathedral in the outback,
And it’s under an open sky,
Where creation sings God’s praises
To whoever passes by.
The stars display His Glory
For every eye to see,
While the wind tells of His Love,
As it goes from tree to tree.
No choir could match the beauty
Of this Eternal song,
While all Heaven waits expectantly,
Knowing Jesus won’t be long.

When was the last time
you really looked at a sunset... |
|
 |
|
Or stopped to smell a
Rose... |
|
 |
|
These, like you, are part
of God's creation... |
|
 |
|
So take the time, you
might just meet God... |
|
Seeing these
things, have filled me with wonder, I have come to know God that
little bit more. God is our creator, as we look at His Creation, it
points to a loving Heavenly Father, who has put so much beauty into
His world. Just as each thing has a purpose, God has a plan and a
purpose for our lives . He gave His only Son Jesus, to die in our
place, to take our sin’s upon Himself, that we might truly know Him. |
