Читать книгу Mother's Heart. Against All Odds – A Book Of Romantic Poetry - Galina B. Nelson - Страница 4

I was writing since my early childhood and this is because I was in love with words – with art of language – at that time (and, sometimes, now) it seemed to me magical.

However, I was not ambitious, – I had low self-esteem. I gave up on writing and almost gave up on myself when I was a teenager.

Then, all of a sudden – I am writing again. If one person not because of a duty or academic assignments suddenly starts to write poetry, we suppose that person is in love. The person who wrote poetry included in the book is I, Galina Nelson and of course, I am in love, it is true.

I was also through a lot of pain and hurt and if someone says to you that there was enough drama on my plate to turn one into a hater, you shall know, it is also true. You shall also know that love is stronger and more powerful than hate and this is the reason I did not turn into a hater. I am in love, – with my country – USA, with my daughters – Anna and Angelina, with my man, their father – Ryan Nelson with our family and friends – with our Creator. I had to mention, that first of all, I am in love and I believe in God.

As you understood, my life was not easy during past few years. I could not be with my daughters as much as they and I needed, due to the unfortunate circumstances. Often, I spoke to my daughters through my writing, through the power of written word.

Travelling USA in the years 2011 – 2018 I discovered the whole new America, – America full of cruelty, struggle, hunger, homelessness and hurt… and, at the same time I discovered America full of love. Love that fights, love that heals and helps, love that gives hand – I discovered the whole new America of great American people.

In my poetry I didn’t want to reflect the hurt that I experienced. I was praying for my family, for my friends, for America and I knew that love is the strongest power of all, and love wins everything. In my poetry I reflected love that I could see around, love that I could feel – love that eventually shall stop the insanity and heartlessness. When everyone can feel it. When everyone can see it. I was writing in the moments inspired by the feeling of gratitude, love and forgiveness. The lines did come easy and effortlessly, like if someone was whispering them to me… Angels? Perhaps!

I hope you enjoy my poetry, the way I enjoyed writing it for you.
