It's About Time Odele Bruce

It's About Time is a book containing a collection of poems and short stories spanning 23 years that speak to the heart, mind, and soul from the author's heart. These works have been sitting on a bookshelf in a folder, collecting dust. Some of these poems were shared with a few, and they were blessed. It's time to share them with the world so they can be a blessing to the person reading them. That's what gives this book its title. This book is full of poetry that speaks to the heart, mind, or soul of the individual who is reading this book. Many of us have been married, or are still married. Some of us have struggled with an addiction. Sickness and death are things we all deal with, whether it's dealing with the death of a family member or taking care of a sick loved one. Dealing with life's ups and downs is a part of life. An individual can choose to let the trials of this world take them out, or one can choose to overcome them. In this book, one will find a poem, short story, or letter that deals with what has been mentioned above. Poetry is therapeutic. It's therapeutic for the writer and the reader. When people write, they're simply cleansing their soul, writing what is in their heart. It's a release of one's feelings about anything and everything. That's what took place over 20 years ago. What was in my heart at the specific time was put on paper. It's therapy. Many of the poetic writings in this book will minister to the readers, uplifting their heads and encouraging them in a positive way.
