From the author
 
In this collection of poetry, I share my rebirth to a new day and all the wonders that came with it.  The sharing of daily experiences from the hardship of the aged, the dreams of the young—to Veterans and their story, and how time—or should I say “How Old Father Time” waits on no one. 
 
But through prayer and faith in the Lord—He will continually bring us through to that “Dawn of a New Day”.
 
 
From the inside flap
 
The Dawn of A New Day is a collection of poems that bring insight and awareness to everyday living.  These poems are shared experiences of my life, and how the world looks through the eyes of someone who got a second chance in life. 
 
The firsthand lessons I experienced as I grew and matured into the “Woman—Mother—The Child of God,” that He intends me to be. 
 
Although He is not through with me yet, as I look back, I am far better off than I was, “All Praises To God”.
 
God Bless,
Rev. Dr. Roberta M. Heck, Chaplain

Born in Durham, North Carolina, I now live in New Jersey with my husband, Roderick, and son, Ronald.
 
I have been writing since childhood and have won numerous National Awards for my poetry including the Shakespeare Trophy of Excellence, the Editors Choice Award, and the Poetic Excellence Award.  My work has been published in newspapers and in many anthologies.
 
I have shared my poetry on radio, through readings and book signings, at church programs, Women Retreats, Tea’s, The New Jersey Foundation of Music and Arts and other functions.
 
My goal is to share the goodness of God through poetry.  My favorite verse in the bible is “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?” – Psalm 27:1 KJV
