Songs from the Golden Flute: A Book of Poems and Lyrics

by Cris Janoff

Overview

Poems of joy,

Poems of sorrow,

Poems of hope

for a glorious tomorrow.

Songs From the Golden Flute is a collection of poems and lyrics. Drawn from a fountain of joy, of sorrow, of yearning, and of hope, this book was not written for just one group of people, but rather, for everyone. For we all yearn to feel happy instead of sad, fulfilled instead of empty, and love instead of loneliness.

We all have a Golden Flute, an instrument with which to make beautiful, inspiring, and heartfelt music. The only question is — will we let it sit and gather dust or pick it up and play it from our hearts, truthfully and triumphantly!
