    About this ebook

    Poetically Baring My Soul is a testimony, of sorts, to the journey of a man who has faced several obstacles during his travel through life. This book illustrates growth, examines the heart, explores the unknown, and confesses weaknesses through poetic inscriptions. The primary reason Poetically Baring My soul is written, is to glorify God, honor Him with the gift He bestowed, and to share with anyone who can relate, experiences that may be a blessing in the lives of others.

      Thank you to everyone who motivated me in some form or fashion to write this book.

      I can cite several sources of inspiration for this documentation. Undoubtedly, God precedes the list. He not only blessed me with this gift, but He initiated the call to write, publish, and distribute this book. My daughter, Tierra, is another that inspires me. She has a gift of poetry herself, and the energy, passion, and innocence she carries within excites me every time I read her poems. I have a spiritual mentor who encourages me to present my talent to the world. I have a very good friend in Virginia that keeps me on the realm of reality when I sometimes attempt to move
