INTRODUCTION

Who knows the mind of the poet.

Poetry can take you places and let you experience emotions such as joy, pain, sorrow and happiness as well as spiritual uplifting.

Inside each of us is a poet waiting to be heard.

God has given each of us gifts. It’s up to us to develop them.

Life is a journey we take and along the way through choices we make and people we come in contact with, it shapes and molds us into the person we are to be.

So as you take this journey through hope for despair may it inspire the poet inside of you.
