The words of a poet are elegant as they overflow with charm. The words are delightful and enchanting, also precise in their tone. The expressions fashioned by a poet are stylish yet uniquely tasteful in pitch. The words of a poet are explicit and sometimes misconstrued. But the words of a poet are truly from the heart, filled with zeal and occasionally laced with a little rage. The poetic words of a poet linger, while they flow with simplicity." By the grace of God, Alice was able to overcome a difficult time in her life. Through this beautiful collection of poems, she courageously shares her story.
