Seeing Life: Poems of Empowerment and Self-confidence
We are not alone. In our good times and our bad times, even when people let us down, love is all around us. We only have to open our eyes to see evidence of the love of God, the devotion of family and friends, and the beauties of the natural world and human creative energy. Expressing this love in order to comfort, inspire, and empower others-this is the mission of Robin Hosking's poetry collection, Seeing Life . If we love, we live; if we stop loving or turn away from the love offered to us, we die. Journey Called Life
Here in this place, in this life,
I've suffered such loss, grief, and strife-
Loss of parents, dear and true,
Loss of friends from my youth
Loss of family, and strangers, too.
That is okay, for I know that they have really not gone away. Within the journey that we call life,
Within this sphere, this realm, this space of light,
I have learned something of the human plight. Here on this journey that we call life,
We are all vessels,
Shells, if you will, covered with skin
But the true us underneath is the spirit, the will, the energy, that helps us to move.
Without this we would be motionless....

Self-Confidence
Robin Hosking's poetry of strength and self-confidence are titled Seeing Life.
She kept all the poems in particular sections like; Poems about life, god, people, love, and societal issues are included.
I usually loves short poems that are enchanting, tranquil, and soothing. I recommend reading these poems include: watch what you wish for, wondering, fictitious feelings, change, the way I feel, and she.
Author shares his opinions and inspires through poetries. These poetries will definitely help people's in their lives to overcome them in tough situations. I found this very motivating and love to re read all these again.There is a relatable image with the poems and that made the content more engaging and attractive. Language, narrative power all are amazing and up to the point.
