About the Author

Ivory J. Shields was born on October 28, 1955 in Oscar, Louisiana. The son of Albert and Selma Shields. My father is with the Jesus and my mother here with me on the earth. We look forward to joining Albert one day. I attended catholic school from first grade to third grade, then public school from third to 12th. I left the state of Louisiana after high school, and join the Air Force. I left the Air Force after one year of my four year contract with an honor discharge. I came home to Louisiana after the Air Force for 40 days. I travel west to Richmond, California. I found Jesus on the highways and byways of America in places least traveled by all who have too much stuff. Back then, I had nothing but adventure as my sail since those days of the early 70’s. I have become a master barber and stylist or 35 years of service to all people of color, which means I learn to serve all God’s creation. I have real estate license. My own company. All glory be to my Lord and savior Jesus Christ for sending his Holy Spirit to guide me along the way. In passing, m hope for all who will read my poetry, is that, the spirit of truth will touch their hearts and mind to help someone in need. Peace and love to all in Jesus name.
