Poems Are Large Thoughts in Small Thimbles The words in this book are a reflection of my journey through life. They are divided into four main categories, which mirror our experiences in life. The faith poems are a gift from the Lord. I just hold the pen. I hope that they inspire your journey of faith. The profound poems will make you think and reflect. I also want you to enjoy the funny poems because laughter is necessary for health and happiness. There is something about being able to laugh at our foibles that draws us together. Love poems are so emotional. Our need for another person is basic to life and the love we share is one of God's greatest gifts. These poems will take you from the first blush of discovery to the enduring joy of deep commitment. Also included are some short essays and two short stories again to make you laugh and reflect. One short story is for young children with profound Christian implications and the other is for older grade school children. I also had lots of fun throwing in some of my artwork and illustrations for your eyes to enjoy. I pray that you savor these words of life and that they enrich your own life's journey. Your servant and His, Myra Shire Groce
