Poems of the Heart: Vol. 1

By Betty Jean Banks

The inspiration for the poems in this book come from Betty's life, her love for God and
social challenges. Many are confronted with real and profound emotions these days,
like grief, guilt, fear, hurt, hopelessness, anxiety, and shame. The words are not always
easily there to express those feelings. Betty's desire and prayer is for her readers to find
comfort and inspiration from her poetry. Know you are not alone. Betty brings these emotions
out in her poetry and shows the power of hope, belief, and healing in her life.
Betty Jean Banks is a native of Louisiana. She is retired from an agency of the federal

her class at Greenoaks High School. In later years, Betty received several awards for
poems she entered in poetry contests. Among them was a Golden Poet Award, two

of poetry with the Holy Spirit's inspiration and guidance.
