Description
Compiled by Nancy Garner Beauchamp.
This collection of poems by Mary Baker Eddy covers most of her life, from girlhood to her final year on earth. It is a comprehensive anthology of verse written by her during times of both joy and sorrow, the reading of which will enable you to peer inside the mind and heart of one of the most brilliant and controversial women of all time… Her poems are both heart-wrenching and uplifting, for they tell her story from her perspective, as no one else can.
Excerpt from Heartfelt:
RESOLUTIONS FOR THE DAY
To rise in the morning and drink in the view –
The home where I dwell in the vale,
The blossoms whose fragrance and charms ever new
Are scattered o’er hillside and dale;
To gaze on sunbeams enkindling the sky –
A loftier life to invite –
A light that illumines my spiritual eye,
An inspires my pen as I write;
To form resolutions, with strength from on high,
Such physical laws to obey,
As reason with appetite, pleasures deny,
That health may my efforts repay;
To kneel at the altar of mercy and pray
That pardon and grace, through His Son,
May comfort my soul all the wearisome day,
And cheer me with hope when ’tis done;
