My Bio
|
My early years were spent growing up in and around Athens, Kentucky, the last of 10 children. The examples of my parents, Jerry and Louetta Patrick, during my formative years, taught me that friends and family were more important than any thing I would ever own or accomplish. I was taught all people are the same. We should love them all, even if we don't like their actions sometimes. These influences were enhanced by school teachers, basketball coaches, brothers and sisters and church friends. I still value these today. It is my desire and goal to utilize my poetry to encourage and uplift those who dare read it. Equally important is the possibility that the words I write point the reader in a new or expanded direction, making this world a better place to live.
