'All's Well!'

A wartime poetry collection of devotional and patriotic verse that comforts soldiers and bereaved families, blending hymnal prayers, meditations on suffering and sacrifice, and calls for moral renewal. The poems alternate short prayers and longer reflective pieces that confront the horrors of modern conflict while insisting on divine providence, courage, and hope; recurring images include the Cross, a watchful God, wounded homes, and the need to rebuild civilization after tyranny. Many pieces dedicate solace to those at the front and to those tending the wounded, closing with appeals to personal responsibility to make the postwar future better.
