I have been blessed many times in the past by Jeanetta’s poems. She is a poet whose words evoke faith, gratitude and strength. She is a poet whose words both anchor and lift the soul. Needless to say, I held high expectations for this, her most recent collection of poems, and my expectations were not only met but exceeded. In “The Collection: Poems of Praise,” I encountered several poems that took me “there.” There being a sense of being cared for. There being a connection to other human souls. There being a reminder of a tradition steeped in love. I enjoyed the entire collection, but as in all things that come in multiples, some seared my heart more than others. Those became my favorites and include: Hold Up the Light, Mr. Blue Jeans, The Whistling Man, Spirit Walk, I Got my Mind Back in the Garden, Tripping Over Your Cord, and Who is He? In her Introduction for this Gospel poetry ebook, Jeanetta says, “I sincerely hope these words will warm your heart, bless your life, bring you comfort, make you smile, and encourage us to praise Him all the more…” I can honestly say she did that for me, and for that big favor, I say, thank you!
