The poems in this book were written between 2008, and 2016. This book has truly been a gift of God. Who would have thought that God would use a middle age, introvert, who hid behind walls to protect himself from the pains of life, to write a book of poems to encourage others. I was comfortable being in the background, not being in the spotlight was fine with me, but what I didn't realize was, God had other plans.

The more obedient I was the more God allowed my gift to grow. Almost all the poems found in this book are inspired by someone that God had placed in my life. Many of the poems written in this book are two person conversation with a hurting person and a reply from God. You may even find yourself in many of these poems, as if I was listening to a conversation with you, and God, or I had tapped into your prayers. I must stress that the poems in this book are not for entertainment, but are written to encourage the body of Ch
