My goal as the author of this book is to inspire the reader with poems from my heart and my inner feelings of the Most-High God. I experienced times in the world around me that had failed yet my soul was not succumbing to the failures of the world. So... I believe and have faith in God, reaching out to Most-High to restore my spirit, to move me, guide me, to direct my steps. Poetry was and is part of my outlet to bestow poems to the world in which people may feel that hope is not lost or faint. Serving in the military, rendering honors for my fallen fellow comrades and/or their dependents allowed me to view this life as a temporary transition until the day our world ends and we're called home to the Most-High God. My work is incomplete; yet I strive daily to give my all to my wife; my children and my grandchildren. Not knowing the last time that my eyes will open and my world ends.
