Di's life is built on the unshakeable rock of spirituality
Love for spirit, family, people, animals and earth is obvious to all who know her.
This is evident in poems, written through good times, and hard, as she examines her life experiences, searching for the values she treasures - integrity, honesty, perseverance, hope and love.
We can relate to her, and she is able to express in her poems the uncomfortable feelings we perhaps turn away from because we have too have been hurt and confused.
Her poems encouraged us to be own best friend, to walk with spirit and strive for happiness for ourselves and all living things. She reminds us we are an eternal spark of God, here to learn valuable lessons.

My Emma's Rose
Now winter days have gone and spring is finally here it's time to turn the soil and plant for another year
To plant the seeds, to watch them grow, is such a joy for me.
There is nowhere in this whole wide world where I would rather be
To see the first snow drops breaking through the ground sets my heart a glow
Followed by the Jonquils so happy and bright brings happiness I know pansies, their little faces help to make me smile
If you were to ask me to choose the flower that I most love of all.
It is the 'Emma's Rose' I've grown for years.
It stands taller than them all.
