This book is a representation of poems that were written from the author's heart. They speak from the many social problems that surface and exist throughout the world. Although these issues have permeated from place to place, there is still hope. There are joys in life, but there are also sorrows. Sometimes these sorrows are of the very day kind- sad, but survivable. Other sorrows affect us so profoundly, so significantly and indelibly that we instinctively know life will never be the same. We wonder how we can make it through another day.I have been through such times. I have also walked with other individuals through such times. That is how I know that hope can be found in even the most difficult seasons of life. At the most painful moments of our lives, when everything is peeled away and stripped bare, when it seems that nothing is left, I know that there is still hope. Even the smallest amount can make the greatest difference. Hope and resilience are what help us set goals and affect change, to persevere in the face of life challenges and thrive. So, no matter what you’re going through, know that you ‘re not alone. You’ll get through this!
