Sunlight Through the Trees and Other Poems - Hardcover

by Kristi Bishop (Author)

Sunlight through the Trees and Other Poems shares thoughts and reflections on a variety of topics, ranging from nature's grandeur and beauty to our need for God's love. Descriptive language, imagery, and lyrical cadences inspire readers to be mindful of blessings both large and small. The poems in this book were written over the course of thirty-five years and draw from hardship as well as joyful experiences. Many were penned in the quiet of the early morning as an observation of some aspect of creation, as praise to God for his goodness, or in anticipation of the life awaiting us in heaven. A paragraph that expounds on meaning and reveals the source of inspiration precedes each poem. It is the author's prayer that this book will guide readers to seek deep and meaningful connections with God and nature.
