Writing poetry became a passion for me, while experiencing some of my life's most extreme hardships, as well as witnessing the same through others. This book represents, in part, over a decade of poetry writing. As I reflected inwardly or on my current circumstances, I would often times become inspired; thus, the result is this book. I most importantly want to convey in my writing that life's most unfortunate circumstances cannot stand against the eternal forces of love, faith, courage, hope and healing.
