ABOUT DESIGNERBLU There is no defeat in life Except from within Unless you are beaten there You are bound to win... Hi and welcome to my poetry site. I have been writing poetry in one form or another since the age of 12. It has always been a God-given outlet for my fear, pain, rejection, guilt, sadness, joy and happiness. I have fought many battles in my lifetime, including battles with child abuse, depression, alcohol and my ongoing battle with cancer and the suicide death of my precious son.. I have gained strength from my faith and love in God and the ability that he gave me to transfer my feeling to paper.. It is my hope that you find something here that touches your heart in some way.. I would like to thank Travis for all his help and patience in making this site possible..You are my heart. To my remaining sons...Brian and Robert, I love you more then any poet's words could possibly express. To my sweet departed son Jason, I will see you soon.. And to you...thank you for visiting my little corner of the world and please write me with any comments you may have. God Bless, Judi (Designerblu) All poems are (C) 1999 Judi Ford as designerblu.
