Words of Awakening

By Maria Lebron

My objective behind this book is to help people open their eyes to a new way of thinking. Words of Awakening will allow you to partake in an emotional adventure through the power of words. Some poems might relate to you, while others will fill the void in people you might know. Either way, my objective is to allow you to evaluate your own surroundings that could lead to open and closed door decisions. Enjoy your journey, and thank you for reading.

I dedicate this book to my brother and want him to know that he is, and always will be, the greatest man in my life. I would like to thank my sisters for being supportive. I am also sending a loving dedication to my foster parents, Mr. Michael and Mrs. Sally Montanio and family, who opened their home to a teenager in need and showed her the true meaning of love. Finally, to my loving husband Carmelo Lebron, thank you for being supportive.
