In this empathetic collection of poetry, which touches the hearts and souls of many, Helen shares that her spirit is not of this world, its of a world far greater than Earth its heavenly! Her spirit holds her together through the good times and the bad times of the storms. Her faith is clearly expressed throughout as she praises her Maker and exhorts Him to watch over her family and friends, both those here on Earth and those who have gone on to their reward. Offering an intensely personal glimpse into her life through her evocative words, The Spirit Within Me encourages us to get in touch with our won spirits within.
