The selected poetry in this book reflects not only the feelings of being born again and looking at life in all its beauty for the first time, but also the emotions and the struggles to continue having Faith when faced with pain, tears and loss. The struggle to believe you are never alone in your journey; that there’s always someone home. I have chosen the title Efflorescing Faith: Beginning of Beauty as my first title because this book describes exactly that. The beginning of beauty in a life of Faith.
