It is also a tribute to the strength we all have to overcome whatever obstacles life throws at us.For example, the poem "e;In the Grace of Your Love"e; shows the poet's ability to rise above feeling "e;sad and blue"e; when he concludes: "e;For I had found a place in / Her heart, so kind, so gentle / For only an angel from heaven / Can offer me more and / I am proud to stand / In the grace of her love."e;Elsewhere, Mr. Carey questions the definitions attached to everyday emotions in "e;What Is Love?"e; when he writes: "e;What is love? Someone tell me / For I would like to know / Is it here in my heart or is it / There on my mind or is it / There on the other side of the / Rainbow?"e;By opening to any page in this thought-provoking book, readers can surely find themselves.
