About the Book

Poet-author Rev. Dr. Virginia Franklin Davis lets her message reach across her readers – both young and old alike – in this beautiful and rich poetry anthology.

Sometimes, she feels drought within her soul. She oftentimes finds herself in the middle of a challenging spiritual journey, but she still continues moving and pressing on. What keeps her motivated and determined in this undertaking is praying, fasting, and writing. Her longing to fight the negative forces and her yearning for good to prevail can be clearly seen and echoed in her poetry. When she writes, she feels like she’s a deer Beside the Brook, on a hot summer day, savoring a cool drink of water to quench the thirst. And her poems echo how her soul and heart are satisfied.

Now, she invites you to come and join her – listen as God speaks through her poetry. With over a hundred of poems compiled in this anthology, many will surely touch your heart and stir your spirit.

Enjoy this poetry collection that speaks of a variety of everyday sentiments, desires, thoughts, and more. From a gamut of emotions that express a longing, a hope, a fulfillment, and more, you will definitely find yourself relating to a number of poems in this compilation. Have a soothing and refreshing read as you leaf through these pages.
