Way Leads onto Way: Life in Verse

By Estelle M Deshon

Poetry is Music, Poetry is Art and Poetry is Life. This collection is inspired by experience, by observation, by a heart and soul which seeks expression. It is about Life, Love, Struggle, Heartache, Beauty, Nature and ultimate Victory. Anchored in a deeply personal Faith in God this work overflows into a love for people and a call for protection of the creation. It explores the ways in which life has its own purpose and is a great teacher of lessons which sometimes are hard to learn. It is also a reminder that life is transitory, an encouragement to walk our way to our best ability each day, to seek humility and wisdom and to keep one eye on Eternity.

Estelle M Deshon

I am in the seventh decade of my way leads onto way life; it's a ride I would not have missed. I have many loves which enrich my life and I believe in living life purposefully. I am a teacher, writer, blogger, poet and speaker; yet above all things I am a learner; a student of this gift we call life.
