Deeper Waterfalls

Faith, relationships, everyday situations people work through or let the hurt take over and lose themselves. The child of rape, born in poverty, a husband who doesn’t have anyone on the side but no longer wants his family, the man or woman who allowed their friend too much of her dwelling and now that friend is living in his/her place. A man born into addiction, and it doesn’t stop when he’s grown. A woman realizing who she is. Two people having it all, and then death takes it away. A granddaughter who thinks she won’t be allowed into heaven because of her race. These real-life situations are some of the topics of poems in the collection, Deeper Waterfalls by Lillie Johnson. Despite the difficulties she and her family have faced, being in the presence of Yahweh can bring one through to a better life in His light.
