Life is filled with memorable moments of victory, defeat, euphoria, calamity, great success or great failure. Many express these moments in a meaningful way to help others avoid the harm, or accentuate the blessings, which our own moments have caused in our lives. We are all connected, if not physically or emotionally, then certainly spiritually through the deeper resonance of life’s events. We all have moments. What you are holding are the moments of an only son of an only son from the Deep South. These are the moments lived by a journalist of great and abiding Christian faith, living life in an ever-expanding secular world. These are the moments lived by a father of five from an extended family home now living in a world becoming void of family at all. These are moments recorded in the storm of life we all hope to not only survive but make our own stamp upon. These are the first poems of a collection of poems compiled over time. My name is Jerry M. White and these are Moments of Mine.

Stand Again, O Weary Soul    Written By:  T.S. Wilkins   ISBN:  1-60672-234-4  

I will take you on a poetic journey, hoping you will understand I am not just some poor wishful thinker wishing upon a fairy-tale star that life will suddenly become perfect.   Though I will tell you of the stars, I am not just some poet trapped within a fantasy of wishful thinking.    I was born in September of 1984, and I live in South Carolina. I am a young lady who enjoys my friends, family, and the simple things in life very much. As a poet, I am a writer of simple rhyming words. I wonder about the ways of life, and I write about them. I have chosen to use my God-given words to spread inspiration, peace, love, beauty, and freedom. I must tell you that I have stared into the cold, bitter eyes of reality and have seen life for precisely what it is. Do not think for a second that I skipped cheerfully away from such an event. No, I fell to the ground because of a low will power to continue on. There were certainly times when it was difficult to listen to the “life will get better” speech, and it was even more difficult to continuously recite it to myself. Sometimes it actually felt as if the more I believed that speech the worse my life became.  However, here I am…  And well, here you are.  So, in simple rhyming verses, I will take you on a journey of reality and at times we will take a detour down the road of imagination. Don’t worry though, we will arrive safely at our destination… Inspiration.  Please take a step forward, and begin the journey.
