Straw: 1St Edition

By Zakkia Murray

This book is an outpouring of words like from a fountain of God. I hope this will help readers to derive encouragement and nourishment for a better you.

My dearest wish of course is that through this book God in some way may touch the hearts and lives and enrich readers vision. God is not far off from each one of us and can be readily approached. I acknowledge to my debt of friendship, fellowship and the sharing of idea with my friends. Finally and especially to Maurice whose enthusiasm support and encouragement I value more as each year progresses.

Zakkia Murray

The author of this inspirational collection of poems, Mrs. Zakkia Murray has done her Masters in Science from the Punjab University Lahore. From her childhood she had the urge to express her feelings in poetic form but as it is said that everything has its sweet and right time and when the right time did arrive she got inspired and poetic thoughts flowed like a gushing river then she never looked back. A woman inclined to lean on her husband who always encouraged her decisions, the determined Mrs. Murray took to writing poetry and gave vent to her undying feelings which she craved for. Today as we see her she is the amalgam of one who has nailed every opportunity securing it like a gift that must not be discounted, she does count her blessings. She is a woman who has enjoyed whatever God has bestowed on her. A strong and courageous woman who believes in going through life with a smile even if a storm is raging in her heart. If you read in between the lines, you will find her poems highly imaginative or emotional, designed to express to convey deep feelings of joy and sorrow. She is a person who has great ability to feel and express beauty which she expresses with great nobility of language and thought. Her poems show poetic justice with virtue being suitably rewarded and wickedness properly punished. Her poems can be distinguished for excellence and can be regarded most typical for this country and region.
