Ode to the Grove: Rooted in Love is a love letter expressing my gratitude for growing up in the community of Love Grove. The community in and of itself may not have seemed like much to an outsider, but the people living there made it special. The neighborhood lived out the words: "Love your neighbor as yourself". Love Grove allowed me to breathe in a time when that was not easy. It nurtured me and sheltered me yet prepared me to face the world with faith and conviction. For me, there will never be a place as special as Love Grove.

Poetry and prayers often intersect. Both reveal what is in our hearts. Poetry and prayers release the words of our hearts, bringing joy, comfort, peace, and even laughter. Poetry is all around us - in what we see, what we do, and who we love. Likewise, prayers can come at any time and for any reason. We pray for those around us and those that are far. We pray for our heart's desires, and we give thanks for prayers answered.Poetry and prayers can be deep and life-changing. Poetry and prayers touch our hearts and the hearts and lives of those around us. Poetry and prayers encourage - exhilarate- and lift us!!
