The Blessed Poet

I hope you gathered from the description that I am "ghost blogging" for a friend of mine named David Hellman. I could tell you about David, but I'd probably mess it up. I'll let David tell his story in his own words:

"In 1965 I was in a sledding accident. I was in a coma for eight weeks and was paralyzed on the right side of my body. It took 4 years to walk and talk again. In 1969 I started school and in 1980 I graduated. I started writing poems in 1980. I write with a joyful heart and like share my poems. We are all blessed with special gifts from God above. Praise God with a joyful heart and you will be happy all the days of your life."

There's a lot about David that words won't do justice. Let's just say he's an amazing guy, who despite his condition, allows God's Spirit to flow through him and touch the lives of everyone around him.

David has written a fair amount of poetry over the years, and rather than posting them all in one long marathon session, I'll be posting them over time. I'll also be adding any new ones David writes from now on.

May you be blessed by these words from "The Blessed Poet".
