Bio
I was orphaned at age 8 and was raised in several foster homes until I was old enough to join the Marines, I did four tours of duty and then transfered to the Navy where I got a degree in engineering. An injury left me permanently disabled so I have worked from home most of the time since. But in proving the theory that good things happen to those who wait, I opened my apartment door one day and there stood the girl of my dreams! We were married exactly three weeks after I first laid eyes on her and we have been together ever since! She has helped me raise three great kids, and I would not trade my life for anything!
Sometimes serious, sometimes fun, I really enjoy writing poetry and I hope you enjoy reading it as much! I will be updating this site and adding new poems so be sure to come back and visit!
If there is anything you want to know about me, just ask via email or post a blog. Being disabled, I make most of my friends over the internet and I would love to get to know you! The greatest thing about the internet is that it gives us the ability to meet new people in a relatively safe way. So introduce yourself, we may have a lot in common!

In the human experience, the quest for true love can be dramatic, whimsical, and even tragic. Here is presented one man's search for and ultimate discovery of just such a love, related through the unique perspective of his poetry. Ben E. Alexander was orphaned at an early age and, in making his way through the world alone, has experienced tragedy, pain, and sorrow, as well as happiness and peace. Accompanied on his way only by a firm faith in God, he has chronicled his journey through poetry. Here he presents some of his favorites. You are invited to follow along on this journey through his writing, which ranges from the hilarious to the poignant.
