    About this ebook

    Trapped is a poetry book that highlights the suffering and hardship that can come when one gives in to fleshly desires rather than waiting for God’s best. Even though we make mistakes, God is still with us and will set us free in the end.

      Longing To Fill The Emptiness Of My Life, I Traded My Body For Money

      People ask me why I am so crazy about a God I can’t see. I attended church since young and knew of a God who is holy, but I did not understand how people could serve and obey Him with such fire. I would only find out for myself many years later. Alth

      THE RESURRECTION IS EVERYTHING, ISN’T it? It’s a metaphor for the whole Christian life. Without it, what’s dead is just dead. Over. Finished. Buried forever. No hope of new life springing forth. But in Jesus, we have the promise that death is not the

    • 5/5
      This is my first exposure to the poems of Trapped. Several of the poems about love spoke to me deeply and made me become thoughtful and introspective. I will re-read this again another day and absorb some more wisdom.
    • 5/5
      Great poetry. My favorite of the poems was entitled 'Broken'. This collection holds many strong poems. A few of which are memorable like 'Broken' and 'I Can Dream'. Chris D. Davis is a strong poet and I hope to read more of her work.

    My Wife

    Ain’t no woman like the one I’ve got, there’s not another made

    Customized from head to toe, I see what God created,

    She’s good and perfect and built without mistake.

    God allowed our paths to cross on that glorious day,

    For this I thank Him and give Him all the praise.

    She’s the most beautiful woman I have seen in all my days.

    Beauty inside out, her spirit and soul, I’m so amazed

    By the sound in her voice, her smile, and all her ways.

    Cool, calm and collected, very much respected,

    Anointed with fire, and I didn’t expect it.

    Check it, some can dream, but my prize I collected;

    This relationship with her no one can wreck it.

    What God joined together, He built, He erected;

    No man will put us under, break up, man forget it.

    She’s my wife for life, God customized, built, and inspected;

    You mess with my good thing and you will regret it.

    Beauty unbelievable, her eyes, her teeth and her smile;

    A Proverbs 31 woman, truly God’s style.

    Virtuous in her ways, powerful she prays, her faith is now;

    She stands with her man, and the serpent is not allowed.

    The
