Читать книгу Shine On: Visions of Life - Betty Shine - Страница 8

This poem really says it all. Betty’s whole life was about communicating with people, spirits, plants and animals. She loved writing, and her ideas would flow like crystal-clear water. With pen to paper, she produced the most amazing work. Each page of every book is filled with wisdom, insight, hope and understanding, stemming from her own life’s experiences. Her main goal was to bring simplicity to the subjects of healing, mediumship and spirituality, and this she achieved with great success – even hardened sceptics were convinced of a world beyond. Such was her nature, Betty gave of herself and her knowledge without want of anything in return. Throughout her life she stayed true to her beliefs, writing with no fear of ridicule, which often took tremendous courage. The titles and covers of every one of her books were most important to Betty as she felt that her energy would impart itself to those who held and read each book, which indeed it did to millions of readers. The books Betty wrote were ‘the books of her life’, and what a truly amazing life it was!

In the pages of my book,

You’ll find mystery and love,

Emotions that are bared

And tragedies shared

It’s all there.

It has taken a lifetime

To write all the words,

But what is a lifetime

If at last you are heard?

The giving and forgiving

Are the most important lines,

For when you get to the end

There’s no time to pretend.

You’ll find the characters inside

Weren’t saints all the time,

But maybe you’ll discover

Within the cover

Inspirational lines.

The book, it’s not a work of art,

But the words inside

Describe chapters of my life

That taught me how to survive.

It has taken a lifetime

To write all the words

But what is a lifetime

If at last they are heard?

And I hope within the cover

You’ll discover

Inspirational lines

That will teach you how to survive.
