Romeo and Juliet
Romeo and Juliet: Wherefore art thou, Romeo? In one of William Shakespeare’s most celebrated works, this tale of “star-crossed loves” has been told and interpreted time and time again (from film classic West Side Story to teen flick Save the Last Dance). A story all lovers can relate to, Romeo and Juliet focuses on the tragedies that accompany the loss of true love. Lovers Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet, two of the most famed clans in literature, come from opposite sides of the Verona tracks and their family’s disapproval of their love eventually leads to their demise.
Fun Fact: In the popular computer game The Sims 2, there is a neighborhood called Veronaville in which two characters named Romeo Monty and Juliette Capp fall in love.

In this book you will find heart-filled, inspirational poems and devotionals, words of hope inspired by God to help us through this journey we call life. Words from the heart are like songs whispering over and over again in the ears of the one you love; they give you the strength to press forwardand wisdom to let go of the things that will hold them back and hope for the things to come. May the presence of God fill you as you allow Him into your life; may His love fill your heart, bringing you peace and joy as He fulfills your every desire. As you fall into Him, may His love for you calm the seas as He rocks you ever so gently like a baby in His arms. May these poems inspire you and bless you; may they take root in your heart, revealing the truth of Gods love and His plans for you.
