Becoming is the celebration of life, and all the pain and pleasure that comes with life. It's a book of leaving the past to become someone better, wiser and stronger.
Everyone writes poetry, if not with a pen, with their hearts. Becoming, formerly titled "Whispers of the Heart", is heart poetry. Even pain can be celebrated when life lessons are learned from it. Becoming is the journey of a child becoming a woman; of a wounded heart becoming whole again; of a damaged spirit becoming healthy again; of a nobody finding themselves and becoming the person God intended them to be all along!
Excerpt
BALM
I am the balm of Gilead
In me find your healing
No need to walk around sad
All you need to be is willing
In this balm is abundance of peace
And a time for us to share
A time for you to increase
And release all your care
In the balm that I provide
I know you can be whole
All your issues will subside
And you’ll have peace to your soul
Come, my child, receive your balm
Don’t let it pass you by
Let my love bring you calm
Let me be there when you cry
I am the balm of Gilead
In me find your healing
No need to walk around sad
All you need to be is willing
