Deep Connections: A Book of Poetry Straight from the Heart

By Sherria L. Grubbs

This is not a book just for one single group of people. This is for anyone who has feelings, and whose feelings are more than real. The words I right come from feelings that I have or have had, or from things that other people may feel. Not many people can write their feelings or even know their true feelings. Take a look at the words that I have written and see what you think. If you dont understand it the first time, then read it again, and you will find that these words come straight from the heart!

Dedicated to the Ones I Love

This book is dedicated to my daughter, Jasmine Janelle Daniels, who taught me that the joy of living comes from the joy of loving! Without the love of my daughter there would be no joy!

I also dedicate this book to my husband Tim Grubbs, for believing in me even when I didn’t believe in myself. I thank you for lifting me up and encouraging me to have confidence in who I am and most importantly just for loving me!

I thank you!

I Thank the Almighty God for allowing me to find and know my purpose! This road that I have traveled has not been easy and has come with some major challenges. However, I also recognize that it hasn’t really been that hard because I know that when I was going through whatever it was that Jesus was walking with me. I also know that when the road became too hard for me to bear that Jesus was no longer walking with me but he was carrying me through and for that I say Thank You!

Believe it or not, I thank everyone who has had an impact on my life. The good, the bad, and the ugly! Without the trials and obstacles that some people have provided me with throughout my life, I would not have been able to get such personal thoughts and feelings out on paper. I thank those people for allowing the release
