"The gift of love is the most beautiful gift, " "Even bestowed on man, " "Capture it, and share it, " "Just as much as you can " "Do not be careless with God's gift, " "This beautiful gift of love, " "It is delicate, tender, " "And as gentle as a dove " Doris Shields lives life one day at a time, with help from God who keeps her life in rhyme. In her first collection of poetry, Shields shares inspirational reflections that highlight the joys and sorrows that surround a beautiful world and praise the awesomeness of a loving and kind heavenly Father.
Through gentle rhythms and vivid imagery, Shields brings to life everyday joys, hurts, and fears that touchingly reflect on the comforting nature of God's presence, the power of unconditional love, the value of time, and the resilience of the human spirit. As she moves from one relatable topic to another, Shields offers a positive message of hope while encouraging a closer relationship with the Lord.
"Sharing Myself in Poetry" offers a glimpse into a faithful woman's life as she explores the strength of God's keeping power, reminds all of us to never surrender to life's greatest challenges, and embraces the joys found in every moment.
