This book is a combination of my thoughts, feelings, ideas, my joy, my pain, and my sorrow as I have
walked the last 45 years of this life. There were times that this book and the poems are inspired by
actual people that I have had the pleasure of meeting other times and moments of joy and laughter and
even tragedy as I have had an opportunity to pour my heart out onto paper. There were times in this
book when the poems are inspired by a thought or feeling or a moment. I have walked this journey
called life through moments of pain. There is a popular saying that the struggle is real after spending
time deployed in combat I agree some of the poems have been inspired by moments of real clarity with
bullets and bombs popping and bursting all around me. After experiencing some of the most horrific
moments of my life these poems were how I have dealt with these life moments. I invite you to share
with me my journey makes it be real, and a moment of relief and transparency for you as it was for me.
This book causes me to laugh at times to cry and to contemplate my existence as well as humanity.
Sobre el autor
The author grew up in a small rural town in North Carolina. The author faced all type of disadvantages as a child, as a youth and a young adult. The author chose to turn those disadvantages into a positive; to allow them to push him toward a better life, better circumstances and a better situation. The author joined the military at 17 not really ready to be a man but the army forced him to grow up. I enjoyed the journey I relished the opportunities to see other countries; places that I had only dreamed about or read from a magazine or picture book. The authors viewpoint grew so much from that small rural town that he was raised in. The author is overjoyed with the opportunity to share his experience with the reader and with the world. The author has been married for 25 years to a wonderful woman and who is the mother of my four kids and is enjoying family life. The author has faced tragedy turmoil and all manners of horrific situations but most importantly I am still standing.
