The poems and stories in the book are just as relevant and touching today as they were 30 years ago when my father purchased a copy for me. Most of the poems have been read many times by me and shared with others. I have many favorites, but the most precious to me is "The Touch of the Master's Hand" and the story of the little girl in heaven who's tears keep putting the candle out. This is my 5th purchase of the book. Lent copies never seem to return. I have given it as gifts also. Thank you for making it available still.

I really really like this book. It has poems that comfort you when your sad and give you hope when you feel like giving up. I recommend this book to all readers who love poetry.

The poems are simple, uplifting. There is something for everyone... on every subject. You'll want to read it over and over and buy copies for you're friends!! It deserves a coveted spot in your library... or closer still, you're night table!!

My parents gave me this book for Christmas one year when I was in high school. It quickly became my favorite anthology of poetry, one I have treasured for many, many years. Unfortunately, I lost my copy in one of the many moves that have occurred over that time. I discovered it was missing when I went looking for it a couple of months ago. Maybe it's still in a box in the garage loft. But never mind. If you only purchase one anthology of poetry, it should be this one. This is the poetry that you memorize. This is the poetry that you read at a friend's funeral. This is the poetry you share with your children and grandchildren. It never goes out of style. That's why I'm buying another copy.

This book is very touching! It was interesting to read poems from the distant past that shed light on circumstances and issues of interest to the contemporary mind, such as marriage, friendship, reverence and spirituality.

yes, if you love poetry, get this right away. many topics with wonderful musings and reflections on numerous topics.
sip some tea, munch on a snack and relax and partake of this simple but wonderful delight.
i recommend this to be read, memorize some of the poetry gifts and increase the size of your heart.

Dear mother earth, who day by day
Unfoldest blessings on our way,
O praise Him! Alleluia!
The flowers and fruits that in thee grow,
Let them His glory also show.

The book was in good condition and it came promply to my home. I love Amazon books.

If you love poetry...will you will find this book like no other for poems that truly touch the heart in any circumstance in life.

This is a wonderful compilation of down to earth poetry. I was immediately captured by it's contents. I love the era from which it was written. Takes me back a few years to a more serene time. A generation when folks took time to love and reflect. I love this book. I bought a second copy for my sister in law to enjoy as well.
