Title Details

Reflecting upon one’s past can be joyous but also sad because life is both joyous and sad. As humans, we are prone to dwell on the disappointing events rather than those that made us happy. Painful as it can be, we often learn more about ourselves through sad times.

Reflections is a book of poetry that echoes the author’s own life. Poetry has been Joyce Henefield Coleman’s lifelong passion, and she now uses it as a tool to explore yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

Life is full of love, joy, loss, and remembrance. It is important to embrace life to the fullest and find light even in dark times. There’s no use fighting it; our lives will continue to be full of disruptions, but we must stop and appreciate the simple things. Life is a gift. Use it wisely.
