The Poems Keep Me Humble

August 27, 2020September 15, 2020 ~ melanieweldonsoiset ~ Leave a comment

Despite my best efforts, I can't always control the results of a poem.

My name is Melanie, and I’ve worn many labels over the years: poet, pastor, teacher, student, immigrant, #ChurchToo survivor. I’ve learned, however, that the label that fits best is “child of God.” One day that phrase will be my epitaph. Until then, you’ll find me at my best resting in a hammock, biking on local DC green ways, or enjoying a fire by the hearth on a cold winter’s night.

Receive an update by email whenever I post a fresh insight, poem, and/or prayer. I don't waste words, as I believe they are valuable. I will therefore only post when I have something worth saying.
