This collection of poems is representative of my crazy patch life, some bright and new, some showing their age, some seemingly finding their way here from an alternate universe. Just as our lives twist and turn on a whim, so does this poetry patchwork.
Free Downloads!- Ebooks for you and your children to enjoy. "Bears in the Woods" - "Jittery Jackrabbits" - The Miracle of the Eggs" - "A Mouse in the House" - and "Poetry Potpourri", a sampler of poems from all of Ruth's books. Author retains all rights.
You are not alone. We all have questions, doubts, and fears which try to weaken our faith.
No matter where you may be on your particular life path, or what problems you are facing, you are not alone. Someone else has faced the same or similar challenges.
You CAN make it through the storm and walk into the light again with renewed hope and faith.
