MY JESUS
in God Poems
Raise me up in your joy
When my heart fears
Take my hand father
Wipe away my tears

About Raelene J. Elliss
Many years ago, Raelene J. Elliss’ brother passed away in a drowning accident at a popular surf beach in South Australia. Her heart was broken, and the strain of the grief was unbearable. She had no idea how to express her feelings about that tragic loss.
One very warm evening, as she lay awake, unable to sleep due to the worry in her life, she wrote down her feelings on a scrap of paper. Out of that scrawling came her first poem. That was in 1986, and now more than 30 years down the track, Raelene has written more than 200 poems. They have mainly been for her family in celebration of milestones, birthdays, and Christmas.
She developed a knack for picking up a word, phrase, or very funny situation that would inspire a poem. She calls herself the Poetic Rambler and signs her poems as such. Raelene hopes that her poems bring joy and inspiration to whoever reads them.

My wordy, wordy, brilliantly penned. I can picture this as an illustrated children's book. Worthy indeed. Find a publisher ASAP.
Your words are truly of a woman with a passionate heart. I don't have snow where I live, though I have played in snow and built a snowman. God bless you, Sister.
Wow, totally related to this. Standing in the weirdest positions trying to get a picture. I also totally loved your poem confessions of a serial plant killer. Your poems are right up my alley. God bless.
Quite true. The plants seem not to always appreciate the love and care we inflict on them. Well penned. Great rhyming.
Indeed we all need to take a poetic leaf out of your book. Well penned, my dear.
