Life’s Reflections: A Collections of Poems

About the Book

Dr. Black has always enjoyed writing poetry filled with peace, love, and serenity. In this collection of poems, Life’s Reflections: A Collections of Poems, Dr. Vernita Black offers her experiences through faith and wisdom of life’s beauty. The poems reflect Dr. Black’s personal and professional ups and downs—both the good and the bad times. The poems are also reflections of life through pain, hope, beliefs, military travels, and God’s love. The poetry collection starts with “Listen My Child,” which is a reflection of her very first poem written over a decade ago. “Still Standing” and “Thank You God,” her last two poems in the collection, show Dr. Black’s discovery that in spite of all the trials and tribulations that life presents, you can still hold on to faith and stand in the midst of it all.
