Charlotte, North Carolina, Wanda M. R. Garrett a Christian Poet releases her first self-published collection of poetry entitled, “EXPRESSIONS FROM WANDA.” In plain language and from real life experiences. Every poem is powerful and thought provoking. Expressions From Wanda is a collection of poems from a variety of topics. There is a poem called “Women,” that will cause all women to rethink what has gone wrong in the marriage. Are you the woman he married? What changes have taken placed since that day you said, “I do?” God has a solution to put marriages back together. Wives must give the man back the authority as head of the household. God has blessed the man with that position. We as women must accept it and pray for our husbands to take back their role. Another poem talks about how words can cut us on the inside and how we bleed from these wounds during our life time. God can heal those wounds caused by insensitive and negative words spoken to us by a loved one, or a friend.
