Book Cover & Preview Text
"Hope" Depraved by sin's vulgar course, Should one recant with much remorse? Is mercy such that souls shall live, Or grace, it's depth, would soon forgive? Might life exist where death lay now? Whose love brings peace, forever vowed? Could sacred bliss discharge all grief, Summon freedom and bear relief? Relieve this heart, sore from rage. O sanction quick-pure light engage. Complete it's chambers to become Fierce with hope where once was none. "Nut Case" Scurry, scurry, little squirrel- Long bushy tail in a swirl. Up the tree, down you go- Hide those nuts before the snow. Look around-others can't see- The treasures you buy are just for thee! "Majestic Acclaim" Hallelujah to the Lamb once slain. Hallelujah for the King who reigns. Praise the Father for such love. Praise the Son who rules above. O,hallelujah to Jehovah. Yes, hallelujah to I AM. He is Yahweh, Lord and Savior. He will shield with His right hand.

About the Book
You think what you feel; you say what you think. Words are nothing less than expressions of the heart i.e.,..."out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh." Matthew 12:34.
My poetry has its origin from my heart-what I feel (and know), what I have experienced from an intimate relationship with the lover of my soul, Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:10 says, "We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." In this verse, the word "workmanship" comes from the Greek root word "poiema" (pronounced poi' a ma), a thing that is made; created; a workmanship, and where we get our word poem. Each one of us has been given gifts, talents, and abilities that enable us to do the "good works" that God "hath before ordained", or planned for us to do "that we should walk in them". We are the ryhthm, the meter of His heartbeat. It is my prayer you will find encouragement, hope, peace, and joy while reading this book of poetry, for I am His workmanship, His poem.
