Reviews
On Jul 22 2017, a reader said:
I've never read poetry before, it just did not hold my interest, until I accidentally picked this book up, while thumbing through a box of books I was going to donate. Needless to say, it will now stay on my office shelf for inspiration, calmness and a small taste of spirituality.
