    I am blessed and touched by her life. She is woman of courage. The day I learnt about her my life changed totally. I take her as my mentor. Even though I am not blind but I am taking her kind of Spirit. I love her so much. I wish to visit her grave. I wish I have lived in her time to know her. I will like to visit her Home in New York and still meet some of her familiy.Can there still be more Fanny Crosby now in my Generation? I want to be one. What a Challenge. Theresa Essex In UK

    "I would like to share a poem inspired by and written after reading Fanny Crosby an Autobiography.

    Initially I purchased the book for my daughter in need of a book report for her class. I decided to purchase two copies one for my own personal use. After reading the autobiography I realized how most people in today's society fail to see Gods every day wonder and beauty replacing His miracles for things scripture calls wood, hay and stubble.

    The Poem is entitled " What Has Become of The Beauty" and poses a question what if Gods creation could speak and realize their own beauty what would they become? I hope you enjoy the Poem "What Has Become Of The Beauty?" inspired by the autobiography of Fanny Crosby."

    What Has Become of Beauty ?

    When a flower blossoms does it see
    the beauty of the bud?
    Does a rainbow speak, after a summer shower,
    of her colors that fill a daylit sky?
    Can the ocean hear
    the crashing waves, upon some distant shore?
    Or will the snow feel
    her flakes melt away as they fall, silently, upon a child’s face?
    Where are the senses,
    of those who can see-speak-hear or touch?
    They walk as if asleep
    ignoring the beauty about them, in favor of something else!
    Have their hearts forgotten
    Who Created those things of everlasting wonder?



    What if the flower could see her beauty
    regardless of wherever it grows?
    Or the rainbow after a summer shower rejoices
    of her pastel colors painting a daylit sky!
    And the ocean so powerful that it would hear
    the thunderous surf against jagged rocks!
    Imagine if the falling snow could feel
    the tiny flakes of frost kissing a child’s ruby cheeks,
    Would they boast of their glory
    and forget from whence their gifts have been given?
    Till finally their splendor is lost,
    becoming memories of yesterday when beauty lived.
    Perhaps they are best left humble
    for too soon would they become as those passing by!
