This book is a collection of inspirational poems and essays. They
depict my passion for social justice, the rebirth of spirituality
and my burning desire to lift the self-esteem and confidence of the
younger generation. It opens a window of opportunity to boost the
fading desire, the dwindling zealousness and waning determination
of young adults who have lost hope in pursuing their dreams to
become achievers, and who question the loyalty of their peers. The
poetries serve as a stimulus to encourage our young people to
revamp their self-confidence and booster their potentials. The book
assembles topics that form a stairway of encouragement, confidence
and hope for those left behind; for those who are on the edge of
losing their identity and those who have misplaced their
determination to pursue their dreams. It emphasizes the importance
of merging the body, mind and spirit as one complete being that
empowers the individual to ascend to unreachable heights. The essay
'Reflection' describes the urgency and importance of answering the
question; who am I? It states, "I came into this world a solitary
soul. I came into the world possessing one body and one mind." This
is the strength of the individual. The poem 'A Child' is an
affirmation that I am a child of the Great Almighty and I am child
of His Royal Family. It reminds us that we are not ordinary people,
and we do have a supernatural father. 'I am Unique' is a
fascinating upbeat poem that was written for the children of the
world. It emphasizes how exclusive, rare and special each child is.
It reads, "I am no ordinary boy or girl; I am a priceless nugget of
gold chosen to enlighten the world." 'Rise' is a confidence builder
and motivates the children to leave the disguise of the falling
pants or the temptation to join gangs behind and reach for the sky.
'The Misty Journey' is a poem constructed through the eyes of an
unknown woman who witnessed the horrific journey the slaves
encountered on the open seas and in the fields. 'Feed Me' was a
persistent cry to the Lord to fill my hungry heart with love, peace
and compassion. The poem 'Opportunity' denounces the reliance on
hand-outs and argues for a chance to become somebody in the
society. To underscore the importance of inclusiveness, I chose the
following words: "Giving is the robe that clothes the soul; it
consoles the heart and makes it whole." At the end of the book, I
included the essay entitled 'A Prayer.' It's all about a
conversation I had with God to pursue my new career in writing even
though the path looked impossible. It is an amazing story of
obedience. I became an author and a poet not by choice, but by the
constant reminder by my inner spirit to speak out on behalf of our
young adults and the under-privileged. It has been a difficult and,
at times, an unrewarding task, but I persevered. I changed careers
and stuck to the message of empowering and awakening the sleeping
spirits of the young adults. I found out it is impossible to
achieve long-term happiness or to attain continued success or to
expect peace within the family without the intervention of divine
grace. So after many stumbles along the way, I was committed to
assist the next generation along the path to their destiny as I was
led to mine. There, they would find a world filled with respect,
discipline, peace and harmony. I know what my belief in the Creator
has done to change my life around. Now, I can say, without a doubt
that the survival of the human race does not rest in the hands of a
few elected people, but in the hearts of every person coupled with
the love of God.
