Words: Suddenly, from On High!

By Eddie Currie

Writing poetry is not easy but these poems were an indicator that we have no idea what God can unlock, and do in us, when we have a willing heart. The poems in this book have been written in an amazing array of situations and feelings--some up and some down, some critical and some not and at different seasons and different events!
The author has written poems about many things--his family and his circumstances. Many are written about his wider (Christian) family and about where he has stood in his Christian experience (good and bad)! He has now had the opportunity, in the middle of self-isolation and the coronavirus, to read over them again and put them into book form.

Preface

Words, suddenly, from on high

Like water dropping into a still clear pool

Causing ripples, unexpected

Calmness suddenly affected

The status quo changing

Stillness rearranging
