A Season for Writing Poetry Is A MUST READ! The purpose of publishing these poems is to memorialize the legacy of our mother, Millie B. Davis, through her poetry. Another reason for publishing the poems is to share the knowledge, wisdom and faith of our mother with her posterity, family, friends, neighbors, the world and you. In the Bible, when the Israelites had crossed over the Jordan River, God instructed them to go back into the River and retrieve 12 stones to be set up as a memorial. The memorial would symbolize how God enabled them to cross over the River on dry ground (Joshua 4:21-23a). This book represents one of those stones! We had the luxury of sitting under Momma’s wisdom for years and now want to share it with you. We’re hoping that these poems bring you as much joy and inspiration as they have done for us for so many years. The blessings of the Lord be upon you. (Psalm 129:8)
