    About this ebook

    My life, my friends

    hopes and fears

    dreamy wishes dangling above my

    bed.

    A cottage in the woods

    the shallow flowing stream where we

    stood.

    My thinking corner

    Tahira Ahmad

    Tahira Ahmad enjoys capturing lifes beauty and recreating it through her eyes. In her first collection of poetry, Ahmad explores a variety of topics that include unconditional love, faith, and happy connections.

    Through diverse verse, Ahmad shares a heartfelt prayer for her mother, offers a glimpse inside a thinking corner, contemplates how we can all make the world a better place, defines what it means to experience an awakening, and wonders why behind everything black or white lies what only the heart can see.

    Snapshots: Silent Thoughts in Words shares a moving and inspirational collection of poems that reflects on one womans journey through life as she learns, loves, and finds the beauty in the world around her.
