Heart to Heart: Poetry #2

By Valerie Granberry

Contained in this book is poetry that will inspire, uplift, delight and cause you enjoyment. One thing I really enjoy is bringing others joy, this book is not only for me but it is also for you. I have had the opportunity to speak out feelings that so many of us experience in the form of poetry. As you read, daughters and sons, moms and dads, neighbors and even some acquaintances will come to mind. Pieces in this book can inspire you to want to mature, grow and take your life to another level. Laughter is good medicine so this book can increase your health for the better. I feel blessed to be able to minister into your life in the form of poetry.
