For those not satisfied with who they are, or know they can do better... When we look in the mirror, we see a reflection. If we don't like what we see, we can either make cosmetic changes or, through surgery, get alterations implemented. Unfortunately, we can't do that if we've developed bad habits or traits, and often some of our bad habits, we don't even know about until someone exposes them. Even your best friend may not tell you about some of them. The observations via poems are to help expose some of those habits, traits, and character flaws like nobody taught you to have a filter on the things you say? We can't say everything that comes to mind, or a slap upside the head might be in our near future. Or when we talk, we may make gestures or faces that give away the truth when you tell a lady she's not really fat or a coworker that they're smart? Poems make you question, who am I, and do I act like that when you know you don't want to be disrespectful. Another means to improve your self-worth and character while distancing yourself from the negative characteristic flaws and undesirable habits.

Inside this book, Inspirations from God, you will find poems that tell of God’s love and constant care for us. I have found that he is always there in whatever we may be going through, whether in good or bad times. Along with him being there for us, he puts people in our lives to guide, lift our spirits, and be of comfort. Whether it’s family or friends, God is always watching out for us. His Word is always there to guide us. He gives us the knowledge to help us along our way. Before I started reciting my poetry in church, I thought the poems were for me alone. I soon found out that the messages were meant for others as well. Our God is so amazing. I pray that the words in this book speak to you as they have to me. To God be the Glory.
