Someone Cares Reviews
-
This was my mother's, and somehow I ended up with it after her death. It sat on my parents' bookshelf all my life, but it wasn't until recently that I decided to read it for the first time. I've never heard of Helen Steiner Rice before, but apparently she was a fairly influential Christian writer in the 60s and 70s. Her poems are collected here, and divided by subject. Rice spent many years as a greeting card writer, and to some, it shows. Others may not enjoy rhyming couplets, but I detect a simple, yet wise understanding of living by faith day by day. Those seeking comfort and/or encouragement will find it here.

I always find comfort and peace in Helen Steiner Rice's poetry. Such wonderful poems and the words flow straight through to the heart.

These are Christian based [poems and there were some I liked, but overall I found this a difficult poetry book to read. The poems felt repetitive either rhyming the first and second lines or rhyming the first and third lines. The content of the poems also felt repetitive too there were three on Thanks Giving and I think it added to the difficulty of reading this. There are three poems about objects that I did like one of which was about a rose. I liked the end which was a note from the author and that is most of the reason I gave this book three stars instead of only two.
-
Inspirational poems - but a bit same-y after you read a bunch, also with some eccentric capitalisation.

These are the type of poems you might find in greeting cards or small gift books to give to your mom/grandma/friend or even yourself. I love Rice's way with words and of course I remember my mom did as well. Reading this made me think of mom with each and every poem.

Lately, I've been reading the poems from this book at my poetry club meetings. There's always one that fits my mood and situation. She's so positive, and I love it!
