Every morning when I wake up, before my feet touch the floor, I am so grateful for whom I am and for the simple things I have. I give thanks unto God. This is not a poetry book about religion; it is a series of poems with pictures telling a story about living life in a world that has become so busy until we forget to slow down, take time to think about the what ifs and the many possibilities that can or will happen if we take time out to render a gratitude of thankfulness in the mist of experiencing joy and sorrow, hope and peace. My inspiration to write these poems is based on how busy we have become in our daily routine. We are so busy, oftentimes we for get to take time out of our busy hours and think about the simple things in life and how amazing our lives are or how amazing our lives can be if we slow down, breath and think. From the imagination of the writer, the intent is to inspire, encourage, and comfort. Enjoy the story of each poem as told by the writer. I hope my readers find inspiration in the words I have written, so they too can be inspired to slow down, breath and think. | Thoughts About Living by Rosalyn M Lampkin, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
