In my quiet time with the Lord and even when I am in crowded places, the need to praise him, commune with him, and simply talk to him is like a string of conversations that pop up in my mind akin to having a heart-to-heart talk or a simple chat with a trusted confidante who is always by my side. There were times, I jotted down my thoughts and before I knew it, I had already composed a number of heartfelt poems all about my savior, my redeemer, my Lord, my fortress, and my friend, Jesus Christ. This compilation of compositions gave birth to my poem anthology; Ode to Jesus.
