These inspirational poems express trust, faith, and commitment, and call upon the reader to explore spirituality and the promise of the Lord. Life is a journey, the author writes, although it may seem; it sometimes may alter your positive self-esteem. Simply put, If we stay on our knees we will not stumble; for God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble.

About the Author

Spiritual Words of Wisdom introduces Sheila Burnell Coney, born in Danville, Virginia, and raised and educated in Rochester, New York. Sheila Burnell Coney is employed as the Human Resources Representative at University of Rochester Strong Memorial Hospital. She is the widow of Maurice Coney Sr. and has two sons, John Henry Burnell and Maurice Coney Jr. She is active in Tae Kwon Do and a local book club; her special interests include church activities, exercising, and reading and writing, especially poetry. Giving honor to a higher power, says Sheila Burnell Coney, I acquired a love for writing, and poetry became an instant fascination because of its depth in meaning, sophistication, and rhyming concepts.

 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your father which is in heaven.  Matt. 5:16
