5"Reflections of My Journey" is more than a book of rhythmic poetry. It is a compilation of 200 mostly faith based poems that run the gamut of emotions. Most read like a short story and each is contained in one of the following sections: *Good for the Spirit - From these uplifting poems the reader will draw inspiration and encouragement. Each work has numerous scripture references making it the perfect choice for the one looking for a different type of daily devotional. *Good for the Soul - In these more lighthearted, sometimes comical poems, the writer has chosen topics that bring a smile, offer a tad of wisdom, and address the simple things of life. Need a laugh or just a breath of fresh air? You'll find it here! Within the pages of the author's first published work you will find relatable poetry. Some may bring you to tears while others may bring a chuckle. Shirley Flowe Furr won a class contest with her first poem written while in the 2nd grade.
