Title Details

I was a student of the Bible from an early age. I was always fascinated by the stories from both the Old and New Testaments and always tried to apply the lessons learned to my own life. After spending years as a Sunday School Teacher, the Bible stories have stayed with me. I read the Bible every day; it has helped me enormously over the years. I am not ashamed to admit, that I prayed to God each time to send me a wonderful wife. I was never disappointed and will continue to communicate with Him on a regular basis. The inspiration for the poetry comes from many sources. A thought while driving or a thought that comes while watching something on television. In one case it was an incident that inspired me. I will on occasion place at the bottom of the poem, what it was that inspired the poem. This book of poems will be in three sections. - Poems of inspiration from my faith whatever the source - Poems from Bible references or from Bible Stories - Poems from my own personal life. Those produced from my own experiences that lifted me from my pit of despair or helped me to understand better God's love and inspiration Erwin Parent is now retired after completing a near 60-year career in Information Technology.
