  When your world falls apart, where does hope hide? 
  What if the breaking was never meant to destroy you — but to awaken you? 
  In Awaken: Finding Hope Beyond Brokenness, poet and life coach Ítala Veloso shares a testimony in verse — written for every soul that's ever felt lost, unseen, or too broken to begin again. 
  These poems are not polished prayers. 
  They are raw honesty, battle cries, tear-stained revelations, and encounters with grace. 
  Ítala walks with you from the depths of despair to the freedom of faith — reminding readers that healing, hope, and spiritual renewal are still possible, even in the darkest seasons. 
  Her words are prayers in motion, carrying the ache of human pain and the healing of God's love — a poetic journey through heartbreak, surrender, forgiveness, and the miraculous rebirth that only love in Christ Jesus can bring. 
  Awaken is a call to the lost, the broken, the weary, and the doubting: 
  to remember who you are, whose you are, and that no valley is too deep for resurrection. 
  Come as you are. You are not forgotten. You are not alone. You are already being made new. 
  Awaken.

  The Way I See It

  Sybil Woolmore

  The inspiration for writing poetry came from Sybil's fathers' story, which he wrote after her mother passed. Having left home at 13 she knew very little about her parents and initially was so enthralled with his story that she believed it would make a great book, but as she started to write found that writing in verse flowed much easier. Her siblings were also grateful for the writing of this first poem as they also had no idea of the early part of their fathers' life. From there she found everyday life and happenings around her gave her material to continue writing. Now retired and not having a mind cluttered with work, it never ceases to amaze her how these stories come to her and just must be written, often waking in the night, mulling over new poems, and having to quickly write lines down before trying to get back to sleep again. The local pastor has also tapped into this gift and she is often asked to write a poem to go with a Sunday sermon.
