Liberty Barham
Profile
After 50 years on this planet, I have plenty to say about it!
I have 5 children and 9 grandchildren, 6 turtles, 4 rabbits, 14 fish, a chihuahua and a hamster. I used to be an animal rescue, now I am just a zoo.
American River College educated, where I made Honors to Highest Honors every semester, the List of Outstanding Transfer Students 99-2000, and the Deans’ List 2000, majoring in Psychology.
I have overcome more than I have ever become.
I searched for God, then found Him within.
I have lived, laughed and loved, more than my fair share.
I have cried, died, and hated, and risen to love again.
I will always rise again, because I cannot be contained.
I am, after all, Liberty.

The Problem with Animal Cruely; A Dogs-Eye View
I wasn’t one of the healthy ones so I got to go live in a “quarantine pen” (you humans sure have funny names for stuff!) in the lady’s back yard with the 5 girls.
MOTHER OF LOVE
And pat-a-cake, rocking chairs, trouble to taste, / I find I have no time left over to waste, / On minding your business or playing a game. / I’m too happy to be angry or laying down blame.
ANOTHER SPACE IN TIME
Until lost in the magic, she sleeps in my arms, / To Nature’s serenade, as I watch the moonbeams play.
