Powerful & Very Beautiful

Love Songs: The World As I See It Vol 2 by Kirby Lee Davis is a powerful and beautiful compilation of images and poems celebrating love in all its’ forms.

We see the love within a family; for a spouse; for children; and for God. There is even the love (tongue-in-cheek) for a doughnut – it does look particularly yummy in the photo!

Although there are original poems to God, there is also a slight variation of 1 Corinthians: 13.

All the poems fall into the categories of: Love & Family; Fantasies; Hardships; True Love. A wide variety of topics as you can see. There really is something to appeal to everyone.

Did I have a favourite poem? I actually had two! Wherever I Go which shows true love as a gift from God. And also, He Couldn’t Be Better about the birth of a son and the pain of letting go as he grows but knowing that God looks after him. This poem is beautiful and incredibly easy to empathise with as a parent.

There were some really fun poems too. A Tick-Yankin’ Woman was in the style of a limerick and incredibly funny. It had a rhythm as I read it.

The author has beautifully illustrated the whole book, mainly with images from nature. They are all stunningly beautiful.

I loved the inclusion of the backstory to the poems at the end of the book. It is good to see what motivated the author when penning the poems.

Love Songs is a beautiful book that will enhance any personal library.

I received a free copy from the author. A favourable review was not required. All opinions are my own.
