inspirational poetry

I'm a woman of 57 my name is Tricia I've been writing poetry for about thirty years and I really enjoy writing. at first, when I started writing poetry it was a way of releasing feelings, when I was going through some counseling, and I needed a release valve to let out the feelings being discovered.
It just happened that way the feelings came out in poetry form. Then when the counseling was over and I didn't need it in that way anymore, then I dedicated it and asked God to use it for the benefit of others. my poetry has changed a lot over the years and now a lot of it is praise poetry and religious, there are some that don't have a religious bias but not many.
I haven't put any of the very early poems on the site because most of them were very negative angry poems. maybe some day I will put some of them on the site I don't know yet.
I have been married and I have three children and one grandson who is fourteen. I do voluntary work at the moment, but I am going to University at the end of September beginning of October to do a degree. I will be doing English Literature, English Language and Professional and Creative Writing, I'm really looking forward to it.
I've suffered from deep depression for a long time but hopefully through all the counseling that is getting better. and my life seems to be going somewhere at last. The last ten years have been the best years of my life, I have done so many things. and will be doing many more I hope in the future.
I work voluntary at the moment for a group that helps people with mental health problems and I find that very interesting, I did train as a nurse a long time ago and really enjoyed that too, but now it is my time, time to have some fun, I think I missed out on a lot of fun when I was growing up and through the years that I Have suffered from mental health problems myself, now its time to live before its too late.
I hope you enjoy my poetry as much as I enjoy writing it and I hope it is an inspiration to many.
If only one poem Helped one person it would be worth all those years of pain and anguish I went through, that has helped to mold me into the person that I am. Its nice to be happy for a change and to be able to look at life in a more positive way.
I don't want life to just be one happy long boring line, with no ups and downs that would be unrealistic, but it would be nice to think that there are not going to be anymore of the very deep depressions that have been there and that I can be more happy and positive about life and all that it has to offer.
