Amy Shares a Poem

Text and photos by Jan Boling

My friend Amy is a talented, artistic poet. She also keeps a journal and works with mixed-media.

For several year she made Christmas cards for everyone on her list.

If you have one like I do, keep it in a safe place!

Amy cooks and swims. She likes to walk at a fast pace. Amy enjoys learning and studies everything from lab technology to herbal medicine and the Bible.

Amy creates beautiful, denim quilts out of discarded jeans. Notice the pink denim in this one!

A curly-haired, natural blonde mountain-woman, Amy has always had a style of her own.

Since an early age, Amy has been photographed...

And painted.

Amy also sings! She has won many hearts with her voice.

Amy wears many hats including the one of poet.

Today she shares a poem.

Moments of Madness

By Amy McCollum

Memories of times past can consume or set free the incentive for possibility. Random acts of un-controlled will, bring with it passion or time ill.

If we rise after we have fallen and stand with strength renewed, then we have beaten the odds and will win rather than lose.
