Despair, Submission, Faith and Hope

Volume 1

This collection of poems was started in the 1990s. It is built on religious, spiritual and philosophical conviction. Most of the poems are centered around the title of the collection, however there are a few poems which highlight other topics such as love, philosophy, etc. The collection is a release of emotions, from someone who has apparently experienced the good and challenging facets of life. It is inspirational, and designed for those who are, or have faced challenging situations in life or who have family or friends who fall in this category. These may be ill-health, loss of income, bereavement, oppression, or whatever the challenge. The collection is one, of thought provoking situations, which most people will have experienced in one form or another. It gives hope to the hopeless, even in the face of adversity. Though it does not promise immediate solutions to all problems, it cushions the effects of the problems and proffers ways in which the author has dealt with his own challenges, with the hope that if the same approach is adopted, similar results will be attained. The collection has a very spiritual and philosophical undertone. I pray that this work impacts positively on all those who receive share the message, directly or indirectly. Have a wonderful experience and reflection. God bless you and be with you.
