“Dreams are thoughts within my mind Of things that might now be. But hope is written in God’s Word Of what shall surely be.” Our worldly dreams will not satisfy the emptiness of a longing, hurting soul. Only an enduring hope found in God satisfies the soul with joy and purpose. This collection of poems takes one on a journey in which eyes of faith and hope view idols, foes, and struggles along the path. Then these eyes fully open to behold the sweet joy, love, and peace found in faith and hope rooted in God. The conviction of this faith and hope is heralded in “Yet I Will Joy”: “Though the day of trouble comes . . . / Yet I will joy in the Lord God of my salvation.” Faith and hope bring the “Sweet Joy” of a life lived in the call of the Lord God. “The Calling of the Princess” vividly pictures the high king seeking a bride for his prince. The messenger goes forth throughout the land calling for a bride, a princess, for his son. Who will answer the call?
Cairine Wilson, Canada's first female senator, was one of nine children raised in an atmosphere of rugged Scots liberalism and strict presbyterianism by affluent Montreal parents in the late nineteenth century. She displayed an interest in politics early in life and through her father's position in the Senate, was befriended by many notable politicians of the period, including Sir Wilfrid Laurier, an experience that left a permanent mark on her. Her appointment to the Senate in 1930 was a historic and controversial event, and launched a political career rife with passion, commitment, and reform. Wilson, whose work on behalf of refugees and the world's needy was legendary, served in the Senate through some of the stormiest years in Canadian government history. First Person is an engaging account of a colourful and powerful politician; a fighter whose efforts were recognized by the highest officials in the land, and whose sculpted image adorns the foyer of the Canadian Senate.
