A Life's Worth: Collected Poems (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781665534895)

Just as reading begins for most of us with Nursery Rhymes, so writing for many of us begins with poetry. Maybe journaling our thoughts. Or writing bits of it in love letters. Composing funny limericks. Sappy valentines. Facebook memes. That was certainly the case for pastor and author, Stan Cosby. Though Pastor Cosby has written a great deal of other kinds of literature-history, fiction, short stories, theological treatise, essay-there will always be a love in his heart for poetry, for in his words "it was the music of the bard that first cast the spell of language upon me." A LIFE'S WORTH is a collection of Cosby's poems written over a 55-year period of life, from adolescence to senior adulthood. All types of poetry are represented, on all kinds of subjects. Poems about Christ, his birth, his life, his death and resurrection. Poems about following Christ. Poems about Africa and Ireland. Poems about the Old West, Cowboys and Indians. Poems about the Land, about Nature, and about Days Gone By. And, of course, poems about Love. Through it all, the spell of a Word-Weaver! Beware!
