August Birthdays

It seems that everyone's birthday is in August, there are 5 people in my family whose birthday is this month.  Starting with my sweet granddaughter's which was August 9.  Today is her brother's birthday, August 16 and tomorrow is my second oldest son's and the day after that is his wife's birthday and their oldest son's birthday is August 26.  So August is this families birthday month.  I just love birthdays.  Don't you? Share with me a special memory about your birthday.  Here is one from me, it was my 11th birthday party I remember dancing at my party with a boy for the first time.  I had a major crush on him.(hehe).

Here is our Poem for today:

If I could fly

By Stephanie Duke

If I could fly, I would fly high and touch the door of heaven.  I would bring the light and show it in your sight, to break the bounds of the hell hounds.  I would see all kneeling, giving praise to God with feelings.  If I could fly, I would bring the warning of the storming.  That will soon come in the morning.  If I could fly, I would take the pain and tell all to praise his name, if I could fly.  God Bless everyone.



A Poem for Today.

Who will hold this Child?

By Stephanie Duke

Who will hold this child? A child that is lost in the night, a child that has lost his sight.  Who will hold this child? A child that is weeping; a child that some say looks creepy.  Who will hold this child? A child that is cold; a child that may not grow old, a child that is reaching, please, I beseech thee.  Who will hold this child? A child that is kneeling a child that has feelings.  Who will hold this child? A child that is raging, a child that feels caged in.  Who will hold this child? For this child, there seems to be no hope.  If we reach together we can make it better.  Who will hold this child?

Summer Fun

Hi everyone, It has been a few months since we last talked, I   had a very hot and busy summer with my 5 year old granddaughter.  We went on a trip to Arkansas to visit with family.  I tried to teach her how to swim, at first she was scared of  the water, but after awhile she manage to stop clinging to me like a little monkey.  I showed her how to float, she can do it a little bit, but now she thinks she can swim.  I told her not just yet,  you need some more lessons, be patient you will learn. Well, I did finially finish "Queen Nyla".  I just have not found a publisher for it yet.   I don't know whether I want to use Publishamerica again or not, even thou they don't charge to publish.  I will be taking my time and weighing my options.  I am praying that I make the right decision for this book.    Well, let me know how your summer has been going, and I will talk again tomorrow.  God bless you.

"Queen Nyla"

That's the name my next book, I am in the mist of revisions.  Hopefully I will have it published by the end of this summer.  I am excited about it, I believe that it is going to be big.  My plan for it is that it will become a new Disney movie.  So, don't be surprise when you see my name up in lights.  I am open for any suggestions about the cover though.  The book is about a queen who has been taken in by a friendly face, but in reality be is the devil in disguise.  He wants her kingdom and will do whatever it takes to get it.  The characters or ethic origin and there are talking animals.  It is in the Disney synosis and colorful.  I can not wait to see it in print, talk too you later. Peace
