Faith and Hope Poems presents a new poetry collection based upon author Shirley Ann Woods soul searching in response to this need. These poems offer personal reflections and simple statements of her own feelings on life. Because of a near death experience at the age of five, she has a great desire to honor God in her life. With these verses, Wood shares her deepest, most spiritual thoughts.
