Promise is a collection of poems, many are written as a story. Some of the tales are true. Others are somewhat factual, as fantasy and reality are often blended into this poetry. The theme is human and spiritual experiences, perceptions of our world, the triumph of spirit and the mystery of life. This book is for everyone. An honest and pure collective of emotions, joys, and the hearts' experiences throughout life. Each poem struck a different nerve for actual points in time for me, and what I assume most people go through in their journey. Promise is more than well written, it comes directly from the heart of the author and as you read it, it will begin to seep into yours. -Shanley McCray CEO, Opportune Publishing
