From the author of A Journey in Life: If you are concerned with perfect form and meter, this may not be the book for you. If you are looking for a book that opens a window on the authoras soul and the building blocks that put him together, then I think you will enjoy what I have to say. I view poetry as telling a story in the fewest words possible. I write my poetry so that when I close my eyes, I can see what I am writing about. Poetry has always been a gift, one that I love to share, so when I had the chance to write this book, even though I was hesitant, I finally viewed it as the ultimate gift. I was once told that the difference between a good book and a great book is thisayou read a good book because it was recommended to you and then you put it on shelf. But you read a great book once, then read it a second time, then you mark your favorite sections and passages and you refer to them frequently. I hope this becomes a book you consider great, but it is my honor to share these poems with you, so sit back, relax, and enjoy. Let me open a window into my soul and share what makes me tick. aAnd now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.a 1 Corinthians 13: 13 NIV.
