The Poetic Provider Gerard J Napolitano

I AM A RETIRED ARTIST AND A SIGNMAKER AND NOW, ALSO A WRITER OF BOOKS ABOUT GOD, MAN AND LIFE IN GENERAL. I WAS BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE BY GOD WHEN I HAD SUFFOCATED TO DEATH ON THE STEAK I WAS EATING, ON MARCH 23rd, of 2003, AND THIS WAS THE CHANGING POINT OF MY EXISTENCE. I AM NOW A BORN AGAIN BELIEVER IN JESUS CHRIST. HE BROUGHT ME BACK, FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS, TO BE HIS READY WRITER. I WAS BORN AT HOME IN THE CITY OF EAST BOSTON, MA. I AM 74 YEARS OF AGE AND HAVE BEEN GIFTED WITH MANY TALENTS, PRAISE GOD. THE LORD NOT ONLY BLESSED ME WITH THESE TALENTS, HE HAS ALSO ADDED MORE YEARS ONTO MY LIFE. TO EXPLAIN THE CROSS OF HEARTS YOU SEE IN EACH POEM, THE THREE HEARTS ON THE TOP REPRESENT THE FATHER, SON AND HOLY GHOST. THE TWELVE HEARTS REPRESENT THE TWELVE APOSTLES, AND THE RAINBOW THAT'S IN THE MIDDLE OF THEM IS GOD'S COVENANT WITH MAN. THE ONES IN BETWEEN EACH OF THE VERSES IS OUR UPWARD CLIMB TO HEAVEN, IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN. GERARD J. NAPOLITANO
