Expression's Embrace Volume 1

Dedicated to the Queens & Princesses, the integral communication between us as women and young ladies... I wrote this collection of poetry to give our blooming youth of little women something to ponder upon during their life's journeys, as well as to speak to mature women to embrace the treasured privilege we have in teaching them. Whether you will need to laugh, to cry, to smile, or to vent, I hope that there is something each of you can draw upon, relate to, become comforted by, or to even be inspired by. I was asked, "Why did you choose the title: From Roses to Sparrows?" Well, roses have always been my favorite blossom, but the title didn't really come to fruition until one of my "little sisters" started to call me Rose. She said it matched my "mothering, nurturing, and sweet side." This same "little sister" I had earlier nicknamed Sparrow. So this book, these expressions, stems from a friendship between a Rose and a Sparrow. I have many "little sisters" that I pray for on a daily basis to embrace the window of maturity and become beautiful women, spiritual women, and respected women. I know life lands us in many puddles and takes us through different courses, but I don't want you to ever give up on yourselves, but especially and more importantly, on life. We, each of us, are all someone's Rose and/or Sparrow and, at times, I feel we need to be reminded of such.Titus 2 "let the older women be reverent in behavior... teachers of what is good, so that they may advise the younger women... to be sound in mind, chaste... good... so that the word of God may not be spoken of abusively."
