This extensive collection of author Judith Mathieson’s poems captures the essence of life’s experiences. In Collected Poems, she presents her thought-provoking work on an array of topics - from challenges and love, to God and nature, celebrations and travel, pets, family, and friends.
A free verse essayist, she gives ample fodder for reflection. The recurring theme of living life to the fullest each and every day is realized in the poem Go For It!:
Why be so serious when things get you down You make matters worse by wearing a frown. Nobody is perfect We all make mistakes What does it matter if you don’t get the breaks? Laugh at your daydreams It will help if you do Never stop searching for the mystery of you. You have the power to change circumstances It’s all up to you You’ll have to take a few chances.
The works in Collected Poems serve to communicate the beauty of life and the importance of God in that life.
