Thoughts and Feelings by Norma

I don’t really feel like I wrote this book. I always had the feeling that I held the pen and God said write these down because I never really struggled to make these words come together or rhyme. They just seemed to flow and I wrote them down.

MY QUIET PLACE

WHEN I GO OFF TO MY QUIET PLACE

AND LEAVE MY BODY BEHIND,

SUCH PEACE AND TRANQUILITY

ON EARTH, I CANNOT FIND.

A PLACE WHERE ONLY GOD CAN GO,

AND HE TAKES ME BY MY HAND

HE LEADS ME THERE TO BE WITH HIM

AND THIS, I SURLEY KNOW.

HE GIVES ME THOUGHTS, AND LOVING WORDS

AND TELLS ME, “PEN THESE DOWN.”

I HAVE NO IDEA, WHAT THESE WORDS WILL BE,

BUT “THEY”’ JUST COME AROUND.

I WAKE UP IN THE ODDEST HOURS

WITH THESE THOUGHTS GOING THROUGH MY MIND.

IT IS SUCH A PEACEFUL FEELING,

IN THIS “QUIET PLACE” OF MINE.

After you’ve turned the page and it comes to the end if you have enjoyed anything that was written it warms my heart because what good are these poems given to me if I couldn’t share them with you.

You are so much a part of this book. And I thank you for sharing all of this with me. Norma
