Foreword by Success’s Shoes
I am so happy to see that you have returned to read yet, another poetical novella by Heather Covington from The PerSOULnalities Series. I hope you have also read PerSOULnalities: Poems For Every Kind of Woman, and PerSOULnalities: Poems For Every Kind of Man. I know that Poems For Every Kind of Woman was an oceanic swim that brought you laughter, tears, strength and empowerment. It restored your inner spirit of hope and motivation to take on life’s challenges, share your journey with the world through writing perhaps, your very own stories. The poems in PerSOULnalities: Poems For Every Kind of Man were a healing stone that may have explored your sensuality and strength to bond with other perplexing souls. It was hot and fiery. You were beckoned to turn over your soul like a leaf to protect your heart, restore its faith and move onto a world that appreciates, respects and admires YOU. Every road that you have traveled was not perfect, but as a parent, teacher or perhaps a neighbor of a family with children, you may now feel more restored upon taking the time to nurture the young. It is your ancestral right. Helping children, helps to heal all internal wounds. It is what God intended to keep the cycle of life focused on The Child. God never will let us get too involved in our adult lives or too successful enough to forget to help The Child, and sometimes The Child’s heart within ourselves. He fills us with guilt for not giving back to li’l souls by giving us dreams of flight. Do you know the feelings that you have of flying and falling? Those who perceive and act upon these feelings of guilt are God fearing souls and the noblest of all inhabitants of the earth. They perceive these signs as destiny warnings. They are your heros and humanitarians. They are the world’s true gifts. One of these people is you. Some of us jump over this gift like one huge hurdle and forget to help The Child. We become greedy, and realize that when internally wounded, it is necessary to finally return to a child’s heart full of emotions that need nurturing and tending to, but we find that there is no one present to listen, or help, but perhaps The Child. To receive God’s gifts, we must give the gifts in our soul to children. Our words of wisdom turn their li’l souls into teachers and wonderful parents someday.
We are all God’s children. Remember this message, nurture a child’s soul and you will indeed nurture your own. This is how you will become a success at all you do. To be a success in life means shaping and molding the life of at least one child. This is when all blessings will be returned. When your child is filled with trouble, feelings of scorn, confusion and dejection, your child will return. When your neighbor is filled with malice, deceit, and hate, she will return. When your coworkers are filled with menace, competition, and gossip, they will return. When your mate is full of lust, lies and faithlessness, he will return. When your soul is full of sadness, desperation and humiliation, it will return. All of these souls were children, who once listened to an elder, learned to be strengthened with words of wisdom, and given the gift to move on, live, breathe, grow, and recycle the nurturing care once received by someone like YOU. Just keep giving and this book will help you to find the way. Give like you have to give to save the world. It is what you really want to do. The success you achieve will not become extrinsic gifts of diamonds, silver or gold, but rather symbolic treasures much richer, and greater within. These gifts will one day guide your true heart to write the book for the world to discover and be blessed with the motivation to continue the legacy of success you birthed...
