Excerpt
From 'Coming Full Circle'
These poems are the result of my long spiritual journey,and they reflect the many aspects of their creator. They are as varied as snowflakes or fingerprints,but each one relates to some aspect of me and my journey of personal fulfillment in some way.
Allow them to inspire you to soar above your challenges, to dare the impossible, and to come 'full circle', in your own journey of life and self discovery.
The Color of the Soul
The soul is colorless,
And when it unfolds,
The eyes of the body
In which it is housed,
See ALL People. (page 27)

This body is my house;
It is not I.
I was never born;
I will never die! (page 33)

From Here
From here, I clearly see my target.
From here I can surely reach my goal.
I have had such a long struggle,
And it has taken its toll
On me, but now, my desire is in view,
And I know exactly what I need to do
To realize my goal,to fulfill my dream.
It's not nearly as hard as it once seemed,
From here.(page 57)

It is my belief that daily prayer is an indispensable part of a successful life. These prayers when prayed with sincerity and faith will reach the gates of heaven and the ears of God.

Coming Full Circle
Daisy Mitchell:
The book of poetry Coming Full Circle by Barbara J. Henry, is a literary work that all can identify with. It is an easy read that is not filled with metaphors that need to be interpreted. She has divided the poetry into three categories: Self Growth,Spirituality, and Inspiration.
Barbara's passion bursts forth in all three areas of this work.However,when she writes about inspiration, the poems tend to capture her true heart, and they reached deeply into mine.
The rhythm and structure of the poems are simple and easy to interpret. Barbara reaches into her life experiences and brings forth the interpretation for each poem. I gathered that the intention of the author was to awaken the reader's soul to grow spiritually, and she does a wonderful job!
She included prayers and favorite quotes to accomplish this goal. These are poems that can be read over and over,and each time, they bring about a different impression. I recommend this book!

This book, though few in pages, has valuable lessons to share in prose or poetry! It has relieved my weariness many times just by the reading of a poem, a prayer, or one of the quotes! I believe it will help you also.
