ROOTED IN TRUTH

ROOTED IN TRUTH BOOK COVERRooted In Truth is a rudimentary trace of a person’s life that encompasses courage, vision, history, strength, struggles, spirituality, political and social consciousness, and culture. This book enlightens the reader of the past, the present, and the future. The book reveals how life’s realities take us from our soul person to our spiritual being. Look closely at the illustration; it is symbolic of a family tree. The branches transcend into future generations that further extend the old heritage while creating a new chapter. The trunk is emblematic of the present generation and the lessons learned during our walk through life, molding our culture from what it is today into what it will become tomorrow.

The roots represent ancestors handing down stories, traditions, phobias, superstitions, sins, struggles, sacrifices, courage, pain and suffering, faith, love, anger, and reverence for God. Amongst the leaves of every generation is the presence of the Comforter. Though we may not see Him, He is always there. Seek Him and you shall find Him. While we are here on this earth, He watches over us, protects us, and loves us in spite of….

ROOTED IN THE TRUTH

COMMITMENT

I shall love you
with all the love I have
and provide for you
until I die

I shall never raise
my hands against you
nor tell lies,
for you are my life
not a token prize

I shall only harm
those who provoke harm on you,
for you shall never feel alarmed
to express your voice,
whose instrument has such charm

I shall be there when needed
and comfort you and
see that you are well treated,
regardless of the reason

I shall succeed
with your strength
and never in my shadow
will you be viewed

I shall make love to you
with meekness in creating sweetness
and may the effect be everlasting

I shall not try
to own or disown you, but
credit you the world,
which you are to me

I shall only be yours
and never will I jeopardize
your love
by accepting another

I shall always love you!
