Shine a Light

This is the 2nd edition of Shine a Light.

Shine a Light’ literally shines a light on real life experiences, some of which are personal to me. This collection of poems shows just how vulnerable we can be when nature and fate unexpectedly throws things our way – yes, life can sometimes be cruel!

In certain situations, we have little or no control over what can happen to us but sometimes, we can be lucky too.

Although none of us can escape fate, there are however certain things we can do to lessen the blow.

My message is simple. We need to take responsibility for our actions and work together to eradicate the greed, selfishness and ignorance that can obstruct and hinder the environment and the world in which we live.

The poems contained in this book will leave you, the reader, with mixed emotions. Some will make you laugh, some may make you sad and others will perhaps strike a chord within you and evoke happy memories of your own.

Shine a Light. Like a huge lighthouse towering over murky rough seas in vast, deep dark waters and rescue teams on the way. Would this be enough to bring you to safety? Would the rescue teams find you? Do they all have what it takes? Will they go ‘the extra mile’ or would some of them want to turn back too soon.

Have you developed the strength of mind that it takes to survive? Will you sink or swim or even keep your head above water?
