LIFE IS GOOD - A Book of Poetry
Life is Good is a collection of sixty poems divided into four sections. At the beginning, the speaker describes the pain and grief associated with death of a loved one. Although she realizes that life goes on, she sometime feels she has no place to go. Finally, she pays attention to what's going on around her and the lives of others.
Throughout the collection, every now and then, the speaker wonders about the role of God shaping her destiny. Despite the title of each section, every poem tells a story, describes a feeling or reveals an experience.
