Virginia Midgett Richardson has wanted to write from the time she first held a pencil. Both her parents being avid readers, she had learned to read children books before she was old enough to attend school. Many of those little books contained rhymes and she began trying to write poems at an early age.
Later she became interested in writing song lyrics and through the years had several songs recorded by pretty important country artists. She also won first prize in a national song contest and her winning lyric had music composed for it by the then famous songwriter, Johnny Green.
After a late marriage, Virginia began writing verses for many greeting card companies and sold hundreds through the 1980s and '90s. However, because her husband loved her poetry so much, she would always write poems for him. He wanted her to have a book of poetry published but she kept putting it off until later. After losing him a few years ago, she began writing many more in his memory. Some of these, along with some older ones and some written for family and friends and just because she still loves to write, she has finally had this book published ... A dream come true for her and the one she loves and misses so much. Virginia Midgett Richardson lived happily for many years with her husband, Ray, in the beautiful mountains of Virginia. After he passed away in 2010, her family brought her back to her hometown of Sneads Ferry, North Carolina where she lives with her niece. She is aged and disabled but still wants to write and spends much of her time doing so when she feels up to it. She still sells a greeting card verse now and then.view less
