Love, Peace and Sweet Tea

By Leeza Lee Barr

This book is a collection of poetic writings that began in conception in my imagination when I was a young girl toiling in the cotton fields of Oxberry, Mississippi. My literary works represent the fabric of the woman I dreamed I would one day become.

Acknowledgment

First and foremost, I would like to thank God, for guiding my hands. To Ricarlo Porter, circuit promoter, and my friend, Janet Marcelin, the contributing editor and my mentor, to my three sons, Mark Anthony Lott, Michael Lott (deceased), and Brian Fields. Also, to all my family, including play daughter, Kimberly Raymond and lifelong friend, Etta-McCardell, thank you for all the love and support.

Foreword

God Bless Leezalee with her words of enlightenment. She touches hope and the spirit of truth. For God has formed her to be a blessing through her poetry. Let this book be inspiration to all who believe in Love, Peace and Sweet Tea.

Dr. Amos J. Young Sr., Pastor

Leezalee sees love as the driving force in life. Her insight is evident in her writing. The enthusiasm with which she shares her thought is prose and in poetry can lighten the spirit and bring joy to the heart.
