From
the Back Cover --
On
Easter Sunday 2007, I wrote my first poem. Rather, I should say, God
wrote it for me. I recall that while in church facing the beautiful
decorated altar of lilies, I was inspired and compelled to write
about this exquisite scene. Since then, I have written quite a lot
of poems. The enclosed poems convey a variety of settings,
personalities, and landscapes. They vary in thought, but underlying
all is a spiritual nature. I’ve entitled them “Expressions from His
Heart”, because that’s what they represent. His Heart refers to
Almighty God, who inspired them. Literally, as Mother Teresa humbly
said about her works, “I was the pen, but God wrote the words.” This
has direct application to me as well.
I hope
you find them as inspiring as I did when I penned them.
