Amidst the crowd
I looked up from my thoughts
and there you were.
The smile told me
you were watching over me.
Caring for me
Loving me from afar
protecting me.
It was a flash from eternity
that allowed me this vision.
Thank you God
for not forgetting me
and continuing
to Love me.

The following poem from my first published book, has been a favorite poem for many years. It has been republished several times in the Dallas Morning News, The McKinney Courier Gazette, and various major web sites. From my family to yours, our best wishes and blessings.
Over the last year, I am especially appreciative of all the positive feedback I have received on this WordPress web site. Thank You All!
Blessings, a special gift from God. Given in prayer given when no hope seems apparent. Blessings bring joys when there is darkness laughter where there are tears. Could these blessings be but tears from God? A way that our God lets us know, that He truly is there and yes He does exist? At times these gifts are given when never expected to let us know truly love and concern is there for us all. If you have forgotten on this day the many special blessings rendered to you. In this blessed thing called Life. Get on your knees render thanks to our God. He will only bless you with more of His eternal Love.Posted in An Abused Dog in my neighborhood of McKinney Texas, tagged a connection of all our souls, A McKinney Poet, A McKinney Texas' newest poetry work, A new poem by Texas Poet John J.

You can tell a lot about a person
in how they treat their dog.
I have hear that dog
cry out for her master
many a day
and nights.
She is about fifteen now.
She has endured tempertures in the teens
while being left outdoors.
She has swellered in heat above 100
while being left outdoors.
An electronic fence guards her escape from this prison.
The fence is in the front of the house
no less.
Many a morning does the smell of her poop
fill the air of their neighbor’s yard.
Her Master has been featured
in a well-known community magazine
hugging this dog no less.
You sure can tell a lot about a person
in how they really treat their dog.
