Such a blessing is mine to publish this book, Using poems to offer hope for those who look. Mainly desiring to aid people in need, Making use of Gods promises we must heed. Accepting Gods mercy and gracethus in heaven afforded a place. Resting in Jesus who died and now lives above, Yearning that people will accept His gift of love!
