Heartfelt Poetry to Comfort, Inspire, and Touch Hearts
Written to comfort the grieving, uplift the weary, celebrate love, and family, honor country, and strengthen Christian faith.
Meet Ron Tranmer
I was born in Jerome, Idaho in 1940, the oldest of seven children, and have been “married to an angel” for 64 years. Together we’ve raised four children, welcomed thirteen grandchildren, and now enjoy many great-grandchildren.
My love for poetry began at age eight, when a poem for the prettiest girl in my class earned a smile and sparked a lifelong passion. Since then, I’ve written and copyrighted more than 400 poems inspired by love, loss, faith, family, and life’s defining moments. Some of my work has been licensed and appears on plaques, keepsakes, and memorials, and I’ve published three books of poetry, with a fourth in progress.
Through rhyme, I hope to remind readers of the enduring importance of God, family, friendship, country, compassion, humor, and love. My poems may be shared for personal, non-profit use with proper credit; commercial use requires permission. Above all, I’m grateful when my words bring comfort, reflection, or hope to others.

Spotlight Poem
Unsung Hero’s
Speeding down a busy street,
in route to fire with blazing heat.
Firefighters, without a doubt,
are on their way to put it out.
Dear Lord, we offer up this prayer
for firefighter’s everywhere.
The bravest of the brave we know,
who tread where other’s fear to go.
Saving lives while risking theirs,
high on a ladder or burning stairs.
Unsung hero’s without fame,
but real true hero’s just the same.
Should in the blaze one bravely die,
bless their family as they cry.
And there in heaven may they dwell.
They’ve already fought the fires of hell.
