Emotions

About the Book

Emotions Poetry is the releasing of emotions. Some are good, while others are sad. Some makes you laugh, while others make you cry. We all have emotions. I just hope that my poetry can help someone to see that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and that light is called Jesus. I believe my purpose was to write these poems, put what I felt on paper, because someone needed to hear the words, and realize that they too can make it. Through many trials and tribulations I am still standing and I owe it all to God. Emotions are not just words put on each page they are real feelings. Someone may have gone through something or may be going through something now. Emotions talks about God, because truly if it was not for Him were would we all be? He is the reason for the season. To Him I give all the glory. He has brought me a mighty long way. Emotions talks about pain, love, death, and it’s also laughter, because we need to know that no matter what we are going through, sometime we just need to laugh. Laughter does the heart good.
