Godly Thoughts

By Ingrid U. Cowan

I find myself pondering ideas and I start praying about what God may want me to tell people who might read my poems. Usually, I feel drawn to the computer and it seems as if the words just flow out of me and through my fingers onto the page. Because of Gods help, I dont claim the end product totally as MY own, because I definitely feel that I have divine help along the way from thought to product. All I pray is that all the thoughts I have brought to the pages of this little book will help someone with encouragement, a feeling of being understood and maybe even a sense of being enabled to cope better with the losses of life and appreciating the wonders and miracles of it all!

Introduction

Trying to find the Just right title for this little book of poetry was a little hard until I remembered an inscription in my autograph book (Anno 1939) by my mother’s best friend, Margarethe Villnow. In her wishes for my future, she wrote (and I loosely translate)

Only roses would entwine your life…
