Write from the Heart

By Erica Hicks Jenkins

Write from the Heart is a collection of poetry that opens the mind as well as the heart. It shows how to express your feelings in words deeply but generously, thereby, getting your point(S) across.

Reading is a way of healing at times. These poems will deliver a sense of peace letting you know that you are not alone in certain real life drama. We all go through things, there are titles like A Piece of Hell on a Silver Platter, Cries Falling on Deaf Ears, Once in a Lifetime Love, A Stranger Prayed for Me, Step Out on Faith, Love Me in Your Heart, Without Yu, An Internet Affair and many others.

Life is full of challenges that we all have to face head on. It does not mater if you are ready or not changes are coming. In the words of Steve Harvey, life is 10 percent of what happens to you and 90 percent of what you do about what happens to you. So it is not the action, it is rather the reaction. Sometimes bad situations end up producing wonderful results.

Write from the Heart

The words just flow from the tip of my pen

Telling tales of where I might go or

where I have been

Who says it has to be true, you really could not tell

if it were true or not

They are my thoughts, my feelings; it flows from

my heart

Life’s experience is a good topic, the disappointments

would be a good one too

That is what I write about so believe that most

of my words are true

Even if I have not experienced it someone I know

may have and passed it on to me

So in many ways I have written things that can

happen to anyone can’t you see

It is real life’s good, bad, and evil from the middle,

end or from the start

Not only do I write the truth, I write from the heart

Total Restoration

Growing up in the church was a big part of

being raised in the south

Having good manners was taught well- I

was told when to open and close my mouth

I do have my own personal relationship with God

and it is a plus

For prayer and faith in God from day to

day is a must

Sometime I lose focus and often times get side tracked

from the wares of life and that I hate

But God will always guide me and set my crooked

paths once again straight

For God did not say we would not have trials

and tough times to get through

What he said was when your load get too heavy, it

is then that he would carry you

He has never failed me although I have

often times failed myself

At times I have felt so low that I

thought even God could not help

It is then that I went back to my roots
