When I realized I had compiled many poems, I decided to explore songs and poems I had written since 1985, and I noticed a recurring theme. I have always written about other people's sufferings, attempting to be a voice for them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThoughts to Heal Your Soul\u003c\/em\u003e approaches human suffering and tragedies not by simply telling the stories of events but by capturing their emotions. The reader will feel the people's struggles, pain, sorrow, tears, joy, and resilience. The true stories lie in the feelings experienced while living and fighting through difficult times. Finally, this book accentuates the courage of these individuals to allow all of us to see the courageous person within us and be inspired to fight onward when things seem hopeless.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe true inspiration for this book, and the series to follow, came to me as I read \u003cem\u003eThe Greener Side of the Tracks\u003c\/em\u003e, a song I wrote in 1985. When I wrote that song, my heart hurt for the thirteen migrants that died in the Arizona desert. I prayed for them and vowed that I would speak for them. Therein lies the reason for this book: so that I might speak for those without a voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Many Seasons Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781956203035\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 102\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.24d","brand":"Gilbert Luna Sierra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42325030863029,"sku":"9781956203035","price":12.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_5e80d7b6-cc85-4a7d-bf3a-ea54580586e7.jpg?v=1660014758","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/thoughts-to-heal-your-soul-poems-and-stories-of-living-with-parkinsons-disease-human-condition-tragedies-and-resilience-9781956203035","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
