The author considers the poems in this book to be expressions of his faith in the Lord. The earliest one of them allowed him to help a brother who was very ill and badly in need of encouragement and assurance. The many he has written since, speak of his thankfulness and appreciation for the spiritual guidance of a loving and gracious God. Words of joy and praise allow you to travel with him on his "daily walk with the Lord. " "Whatever may befall me, I know Jesus is my friend, And He will always hold me close, will love me without end. A friend that one can count on is a blessing unsurpassed; Whenever doubt assails me, His love will hold me fast."
