    About this ebook

    The book is a collection of faith based poems that I have written over the years. They are about the beauty of GOD's universe, the promises that GOD made and kept. The faith in GOD that helps us through the hard times. The inspirations and messages we can receive from THE LORD if only we will open our hearts and our eyes to recognize them.

    Don Vass

    I am a born again Christian, having been saved by the grace of GOD, through the shed blood of my savior Jesus Christ. My name is Don Vass. I have been married to my wife, Sherry, for almost 48 years. We have two sons, Scott and Doug and two grandaughters, Dakota and Sidney. We also have a special daughter-in-law, Julie, whom without her computer skills, this book wouldn’t be a reality. I am a retired coal miner/coal mine workers compensation inspector. I reside in Virginia but I was born and raised in West Virginia. I write these poems because they help me do some soul searching and I feel that they have brought me closer to my LORD. My intention for publishing this book is maybe someone would read one of these poems and it would lead them to accept the LORD JESUS CHRIST as their personal savior.

      Dear Daddy

      May 20, 2019

      Yours is the first face I saw when I came into the world. At first, I was scared. It was so cold and bright. But then I heard your voice. I remembered it immediately — warm, deep and comforting. I didn’t expect you to be so big. My whole body fits in

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.
