About This Book

A compact collection of lyrical poems and short narratives that meditate on motherhood, faith, and the consolations found in nature. Many pieces recall childhood and domestic scenes, confront suffering and loss, and draw on Christian imagery to offer comfort and moral reflection. The verse moves between contemplative monologue, descriptive nature writing, and occasional narrative sketches, balancing personal feeling with devotional and ethical concerns. Throughout, simple pleasures—flowers, seasons, quiet homelife—are set against questions of destiny, grief, and spiritual hope.

Courage.

Now with zeal that will not falter
Rally once again for Right,
Trusting ever and believing
God is all supreme in might.
Let us work—give earnest effort,
Ere the day in darkness set,
Work with faith and love untiring—
He will crown our labors yet.
Though allies of rum are legion,
Fear no evil may betray,
For He’s given angels o’er us
Charge to keep us in the way.
We shall “tread upon the adder,”
If our faith be strong in God;
Aye, “the dragon we shall trample”
If with “Gospel Peace” we’re shod.
