    About this ebook

    My book Poems was written and so titled because there was no other title deemed to be more appropriate than Poems. Poems means an arrangement of words written or spoken, and I want my words to arrange someone's lifestyle with hope and encouragement. My writings envelope many different manners of people's emotions, and it seemed appropriate to not give it another name. How can this book help you? Males and females who are struggling and trying to find some meaning in their lives or dealing with the cares of this world need something to hold onto and give them hope. It is also for those who love to read.

      May 20, 2019

      Yours is the first face I saw when I came into the world. At first, I was scared. It was so cold and bright. But then I heard your voice. I remembered it immediately — warm, deep and comforting. I didn’t expect you to be so big. My whole body fits in

      THE RESURRECTION IS EVERYTHING, ISN’T it? It’s a metaphor for the whole Christian life. Without it, what’s dead is just dead. Over. Finished. Buried forever. No hope of new life springing forth. But in Jesus, we have the promise that death is not the

      A Sobering Tale

      Poems - Shirley McDaniel

      Life’s Door

      Your life is like a door

      You can open less or open more

      In order to open the door to success

      You must know and pass the test

      The door to success is quite hard

      But in the end, it’s worth the reward.

      The door to life is like a book

      It depends on the page you took

      Your story can be read as success

      Or you can scan it and end up in a mess

      This book can be very heavy or light

      No matter where you set your sight.

      The door to life can be ajar

      You can enter in and go far

      Just a small space is all you need

      To do nothing or make life succeed

      Or you can go to the door and peek

      Not knowing for what you seek.

      The door to life can be opened in a rush

      And all your dreams can be crushed

      To make your life a success

      You really have to do your best

      No one can ask for more

      When you have entered the success door.

      The door to life can be opened wide

      And in it, you cannot hide

      You will have many choices to make

      It depends on the road you take

      These roads can be full of trouble

      With your life ending in a rubble.

      Take the opportunity door when it knocks

      And you will have the key that unlocks

      All the other doors that lead to achieve

      All its rewards for you to receive

      Life’s door can only be opened by you

      Now that you know, what are you going to do?

      The Blood

      Though our sins are like scarlet, they can be as white as snow

      Because the blood of Jesus is powerful, I know.

      Jesus is the one who bore our sins

      So that man may live again.

      No one could have done what he did.

      He took away sins that were opened and hid.

      He went to the cross like a lamb to the slaughter

      Saving every father, mother, son, and daughter.

      He shed his blood at Calvary

      So that man would be set free.

      The blood flowed down mountains and into valleys.

      It went across rivers and into galleys.

      The powerful blood reached every sinful soul

      That it washed away
