Recognition coming

A poem I wrote on FORGIVENESS will be in Meridian Magazine online today. This is the note the editor sent to me. Thanks for sending your poem, Lin. I think it will make a great difference for people. Look for it in Monday's Meridian. Kathy Check it out.

TRAPPED

I gave the gift of forgiveness
to you, not because I wanted to
but to open new paths
for my own growth.

You wandered, were lost
following worldly lusts
while I remained alone
trapped by destroyed dreams.



Then new understanding came
to guide me in wisdom’s way
a gift given-forgiving you,
freed me forever.




Then I received an email that my lastest book NATURE NOTES FOR KIDS with over 75 original poems about animals has won a prize for literature for children ages 9-12 (Tweens) at the LEAGUE OF UTAH WRITERS' conference coming up this month. So nice to be recognized for your labors. Now if I could just get people to buy my book-I've only sold 2 copies so far. It's available, cost $15 cause I self published and it's in color. Perfect for the kiddies or grandkids. Shop early for Christmas. Email me for more info lin at sunrivertoday dot com.
