Pray About It

My book is a book of poetry mainly inspired by my mother. I started writting because it helped me deal with my pain and handle all of my emotions. There was a time in my life when I felt I really couldn't take to much more but writing poetry is honestly what kept me alive and continues to carry me through life. The book is broken up into four chapters, love, Jesus, mom, and friends. Each of those categories influenced this book and my life, rather it was in a negative way or positive way. The begininng of each chapter will explain the impact that it had on my life to give the readers a better understand about the poems they're going to read through out the chapter.

When Andre' Jackson was growing up he wrote poetry for fun. That was before a tragic event had occured in is life and his mother had passed away when he was 17 years old. The death of his mom affected other aspects of his life, it affected the way he loved, it even made a difference in how he felt about Christ, and taught him to appreciate and care for his friends and family more than he had before. And that's when poetry was no longer fun for him but became a comforter and acted as a therapy treatment. He'd lose sleep and stay up for hours on top of hours writing and could never rest until the poems were completely finished. Andre' truely feels if he didn't have this talent and wasn't able to write poetry then he wouldn't have mad it this far in his life.
