God, You Are Healing for My Soul (Words Straight from the Heart)

By Carol S. Wright

Every day people awake thinking they can do things their way. Maybe you were on the right path with God, and you turned away. Suddenly things that were once going well now are going downhill. Those who were your so-called friends have turned their backs on you. Why? Because you lost everything when you placed someone or something ahead of God. This includes your family. I encourage people to write. I have found it to be a form of therapy. A way to express myself out loud. This book represents a group of poems from my Spiritual Guidance Collection about my life that I experienced during the good and bad times. Someone might say the poems are a conversation with God, a form of prayer. My hope is that everyone who reads this book will find their way back to God the Creator.

First, I would like to give thanks to God who is the head of my life. I would like to honor my parents, William and Virginia Wright, for all their time, love, and support. I would like to thank my wonderful and loving son, Christopher Rashad Wright, for always being my number one fan. My sisters Valarie Wright Manley, MD—and her husband Michael Manley—and Bernadette Wright for their encouragement. My nieces and nephew Charimsa and Candice Manley, Ashton Levy, William B. Wright (Little William), Tiara Wilcox, and Aries (grandniece) for brining joy to my life. My cousins Jered Orr and Andrea Levy for giving me motivation. My grandmother Mable Clark for always giving me sound advice. And to all the coworkers and friends who encouraged, motivated, or helped in someway. I would like to say thank you to Lt. Kinred, Ms. Scott, Ms. Linear, Ms. Tuit, Ms. Jessica Mathis Burton, Valerie Stockard, Teresa Bulter Williams, Edward Hunter, and Ms. Patricia Konuda. I would like to give special thanks to Mr. Patrick Gilley, Jerrel Jones, and Mrs. Mary Jervis (Xlibris publishing company) for constantly pushing me to finish the book.
