About the Book
This book is actually a compilation of all the work I have done these past 8 years. I have written from experiences I have had with life, love and God. Life has many facets. God allows us to go through struggles in order to obtain what He has for us in this life. There are chapters in our lives that we have to go through. Some are good and some are bad, but through it all, if you have Jesus in your life, you can be successful and you can make it through. Love can be wonderful when you are in it and it can be horrible emotionally when you fall out of it. But because God is love we have to learn to lean on Him when the hurt comes for He will comfort us and He never stops loving us, that's why He said for us to cast our cares upon Him for He cares for us. God is awesome, He loves us so very much. My experiences in getting to know Him has been an adventure and a journey. He has taught me many things on this journey with Him and I love Him very much. I hope you enjoy the poems that depict the struggles & victories I have went through on my Poetic Mysteries, Journey of Life, Love & God.
About the Author
Joyce L Dowridge aka Ayodele Olufemi Born in Baltimore, MD on December 25, 1955 and brought to Pontiac Michigan at the age of three. I began writing poetry while in Elementary School and I wrote poetry for fun for several years not realizing my true potential with it and then one day I just quit writing, that was over 20 years ago. In November of 2002, I went to the first Poet's Night at the Upper Room in Detroit, Michigan and in listening to the different poets present their work, got re-inspired to write again. I went home that night and prayed and asked God to restore my writing abilities and He did just that. I immediately picked up my pen and began to write. To date I have written over 100 poems. My eldest son, Sayum, gave me my African name which is from Yoruba, Africa. Ayo-del-e means Joy comes home, O-lu-fe-me means God loves me. I became a born again believer in 1977 and re-dedicated my life to Jesus Christ in 1983. I love God with all my being and without Him this may not be possible. I have 3 children and 9 grandchildren.
