Poetic Masterpiece: A Collection of Masterfully Articulated Poetry Vol.1

By Yvette Johnston-Henry

This is Yvettes first book of poetry that she has written and published. These poems were written to express her feelings as a form of therapy as she suffered from chronic pain, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic experiences, and immobility as a result of a rear-ended collision. She also wanted to document her experiences of oppression in order to give insight to other people. She has reported the experience of some healing just prior to the production of this book.

Dedication

This book is dedicated totally to my Heavenly Father. He has empowered me to write this collection of poetry under the influence of the Holy Spirit. This book could not have been produced by my natural mind. This is due to my severe headaches, inability to think and to concentrate, at the time of writing them. I call this book a supernatural production. Therefore, I give all glory and honor to God Almighty.

Acknowledgment

I take this opportunity to acknowledge Meky, my fourteen-year-old son who has suffered the loss of motherly care through my afflictions since August 2009.

Proceeds Allocation

Proceeds from the sale of this book will be distributed to Meky’s education fund. He was denied motherly care at the most delicate time of his life—from age nine to fourteen. These are years when parental support is mostly required, as the Lord had ordered.

His inheritances were snatched out of his hands by fraudulent vipers. As a mother, I observed the emotional effects that my traumatic experiences have had on him.

The fact that the Lord allowed me to survive my afflictions and to write this book, I am releasing the proceeds for Meky’s education and advancement in life. This is not a compensation for lost years because he cannot recover them.

Many people contributed greatly, both negatively and positively; however, I converted the contributions into lessons. Every lesson was converted into my feelings, thoughts, and experiences; then, I began to express them in the form of poetry, which was a form of therapy for me.

Parts of a scale are useless for weighing evidence. A full scale and a righteous judge with discretion are required for accurate measurement, in order to give evidential value and to render fair judgment in any justice system.

When you hate what is wrong, you will

try to do what is right.

The worst time to mess with someone

is when that person is going through mental changes to affect nations. The next time

you decide to bring on extreme stress

in someone’s life, think about the consequences of your actions and how it will

affect both you and your victims.

About The Author

(Who Am I?)

Most importantly, I am a Born again Christian who has developed a fruitful, devotional relationship with the Lord. My lifestyle is one of worship, prayer, and meditation on the Word of God. I am a leader and an insightful encourager by nature.

I am a trained spiritual warfare specialist. This did not happen by choice, but by force. My ability to do damage to the kingdom of darkness began when pressure arose in my life.

There was no one to whom I could turn for any help. I had no other choice but to turn to the one and only Sovereign God, who truly defeats all giants. I am so thankful that I turned to Him for help.

I am a wife and a mother of a fourteen-year-old-son who graduated from elementary school with a science award. He began high school with one credit at ninety seven percent. This is noted as a display of God’s grace in his life.

I have gained the experience of knowing that the prayers of a wife and mother who serves the Lord are the most powerful prayers there are.

My body has been the subject of traumas and afflictions that have derived from financial institution’s conspiracies, which have led to a home invasion and staged motor vehicle accidents. From those
