    About this ebook

    Great Poets
    A true poet doesnt need a higher education; theyre just born with it, within their soul. It is truly a gift from above, to be able to speak passionately with words. Its a gift like a singer. A true singer doesnt need lessons, because God kissed their pipes, the true Creator of all gifts big and small.

    A true poet knows from a very small child, how they began to play with words instead of toys. They noticed how they could make words do almost anything like numbers. But if you are studying to become a great poet, you must dig deep inside yourself, separate your mind from your body. You must be a dreamer or a person with visions, able to see a face inside of the moon or something. You have to be a person who wants to make a change in the world, or just want to be heard. You must not be afraid to express your views on life or what other might say or think. Your thoughts can influence someones life in a major way. You could change someones path forever. Your poetry will make a difference if you put your mind, your soul, your heart, into it.

    Ms. Shada Burks

    (I Am a Child of God) Ms. Shada Burks, and I am also a Self Published Author currently of 4 books. My Spiritual Journey, and my love of Poetry, lead me to want to start writing books. I started writing Poetry, when I was about 15 years old, in 1989. I started my Spiritual Journey in 1981, when I was 7 years old, that is when I started visiting my Grandmother’s Church, and I started having a lot of questions, about God, and his son Jesus Christ. My Grandmother Mattie Burks, she answered a lot of my questions about God. My Grandmother went to a Seven Day Adventis Church, Called Sharon Junior Academy, in Wisconsin, and they went to Church on Saturdays. I always prayed to God, and felt His Holy Spirit, and Presence with me. I was a very loving, curious, funny, and a fearless child. I wanted to become an Evangelist, and a Strong Woman of God. I was born in Milwaukee Wisconsin in September 1974. I became a Truth seeker, at the age of 18 years old, I really started looking to learn everything I could about God. I am a Spiritual being having a Human experience, right now in my life. I am still soul searching, healing, and educating myself, with God's Divine help. As I learn, I like to teach, because this is how I learn, to share the Gospel of God. Now my mission is to help others, by sharing with all what I have learned on my Spiritual journey, about the perfect will of God, and what is acceptable. The soul does grow weary at times, and it does need a spiritual tune-up, and God is The Soul Doctor, and it is He, that works through us, His anointed Children. I have become a Elder of the Church, that others can come to for a word of God's, Wisdom, advice, encouragement, motivation, inspiration, and I have a listening and very understanding hear, that will listen to others without judgement. I encourage others to vent and speak out loud, and to get those toxic feelings and emotions, and bad spirits out of their mind, thoughts, mouths, soul, spirit, and their bodies. My faith alone in God, is what gives me Supernatural Powers, Gifts, and Talents, to share with the World, because where we all eventually are going, it is not needed there. I Am a Born Again Saved Christian, A Child of God's, and I have been Baptized and filled with the Holy Ghost of God the Universe. It is God's Spirit that works in and through me, and I give all of the glory to God for my life, and for who I have become this very day. Thank you Father God I love you for everything you have done, doing, and are getting ready to do in my life. Thank you, and all of your Angels to that you allow to aid, protect, and assist me and my loved ones daily, yes I do believe, I am a firm believer in God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost, the Trinity, and the Bible from "Genesis all the way to Revelations".

      A Different Look at Life - Ms. Shada Burks

      Words!

      As I hurry to gather a pen, I start to become dizzy from all of the words that are rushing into my brain. I become overjoyed from the excitement that flows within. I will not die by sword, but with a pen in hand, for the armor of God protects me. I will use His words to fight my battles and protect me from my enemies and the evil one. You can not live on bread alone. Words feed me like meat and vegetables on a plate, far more than anything else, this world can offer me. I am a poet, that is one of my gifts from God. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are one, like my poetry and me. I will use my gift to try to concur all, of my God’s lost children. I will try to use my words, my poetry to change many hearts and save lost souls, not to mislead or judge. I am a poet that knows my true gift from my God is
