Poems on the Path: a Book by Christopher Kelder

My Review: 

I enjoyed this charming little book of free verse poetry by an online friend of mine! All of them are inspirational poems based on nature walks Christopher Kelder took. I was fascinated at the idea of writing a collection of poems all inspired by the same kind of event, and yet all different. The color photos that go with each poem really add to the experience. Anyone who likes poems about God and walking in nature is bound to enjoy this fun collection! Why not take a look? 

Here's a sample poem from the book that I particularly enjoyed (I needed the reminder!).

DECEMBER SUNSHINE

I again pondered my schedule, 

my appointments, and my goals 

as I slowly strolled along.

Until I heard His voice remind me 

to open my eyes and

look around me,

to appreciate this present moment, 

the gift of this sunny, exhilarating 

first day of December.

Not to continually dwell on

what needs to be,

but to often enjoy the beauty

that already is.
