I began writing poetry as a hobby. I didn't realize how many poems I had written throughout the years, until I was advised to have them published. The purpose of the verses in this book that are written from my thoughts, experiences, and the events in my life are to be an inspiration to the readers. In expressing my feelings and emotions, I hope they will touch your heart and have a positive impact on your life. I share my poetry with you for your pleasure and for your enjoyment.
