My book is for all and especially for those who feel down and out. For those that need their spirit lifted. I write for those who feel there's no more hope, feel left out, who feel all alone by themselves, for those that can't rest at night from the lack of peace. I write what God gives me to say, praying that my words, my spoken word gospel poetry will help save lost souls. And bring smiles to those that are blessed to read what God has given me to share with them. It's about time, it's time to give our lives to Jesus. Because tomorrow is not promised to anyone. We must quit putting Jesus off because time can run out before we know it. I've been searching for Jesus, can anyone tell where I can find him? I'm trapped. I just want to let people know about a friend of mine that can bring love, joy, peace, and happiness to all. May God continue to be a beacon of light that will forever shine and show you the way.

Acknowledgment

Special thanks to my wife, Deidre Williams, for being my backbone and for staying there through the thick and thin, love you much. I would like to give special thanks to my mother, Miss. Josephine Williams, my rock, my strength, and my inspiration. My mother’s a certified poet and was awarded a plaque from the National Poet Association. But, my mother can no longer write. And I honor my mother by her writing through me. That’s why I named my first book “An Offspring of Jo’s Gospel Spoken Word Poetry Book.” Special thanks to my father, Edward Earl Prince, and my stepfather, Samuel Earl Horne, grandmother, Mrs. Jessie B. Naylor, grandfather, Ramsey Naylor Sr., aunts Doris Naylor Close, Brenda Naylor, and Geneve Knox, uncles William Naylor, Ramsey Naylor Jr., Jerome Naylor, and Gary Naylor, for all they’ve done for me and helping in raising me. And special thanks to my sister...
