Reflections: Moments in Time

By Joyce Henefield Coleman

Life is fragile, and it’s difficult to see how your story can inspire others. The author hopes to encourage others through her inspirational poetry. She hopes readers will see that while observing your life and contemplating the joys of life, you too can write reflection poetry. In Reflections, readers will find inspirational poetry that results from the author's observations from a long and blessed life. If you’re looking for one of the best poetry books about life or searching for life-changing poetry books, you need to look no further. In her poetry about reflection, the author hopes that readers will see how the joys of life, or a life of sorrow can lead to inspiration.
