Welcome to Poetry by Astrid.
“If you want to change the world, pick up your pen and write.” – Martin Luther
I’m a storyteller, a truth-speaker, and a Jesus-follower. I’m Astrid, and I believe that words have the power to change the world. And so, I pick up my pen.
I am fully convinced that the art of stringing just the right words together can evoke emotion, spark conversation, inspire hope, and point people to Christ. And with these poems that I pour my heart and soul into, I strive to do just that.
Thanks for visiting my blog. I hope you’ll follow along.
