Light From Above

About the Book

There are times when we read things that have an impact on our lives and our way of thinking, either because of our experiences, our beliefs or our environment. Light From Above is a collection of Inspirational Poems that will do just that; these poems will leave an impression on your way of thinking and encourage you to reflect on your Spiritual race. These poems touch and explore various aspects of our everyday lives. They range from childhood to adulthood, from life and love to death and Heaven. These poems also challenge us to look beyond the physical and try to view life through Spiritual eyes. Following are some excerpts of a few thought provoking poems included in Light From Above. I Changed ...One day I looked around me and my ways were not the same. I reached the goals I wanted, God has brought me through the maze. Now my life has new meaning and I can truthfully say, “That when you need some changing, do a little every day”... Eternity Waits ...Eternity is waiting where there will be no more tears, There will be no more sorrows and there will be no more fears. There will be no more hatred, no more crying, no more pain. There will be no more anger, ‘cause the love of God will reign... Growing and Learning ...I’ve learned to be more patient and to teach some others how, To rely on God for guidance and His Word within allow... I’ve learned to be more prayerful in this daily walk of time. I go on ever forward, not looking at what’s behind... Thank You ...Experience has taught me to give flowers when they’re due, To always share a kindness, for it will return to you. We don’t know of our future, so your flowers I give today; For all that you have been to me, this “Thank You” is your bouquet...
