Everyone needs a word of encouragement to go forward, to do better, to find hope, to find peace, to find joy, and to find happiness. Life isn't always an easy journey with some people, situations, and things that we must endure that cross our path. Therefore, at times, we all need a little spirit uplifting to keep our sanity positive and motivated not only to keep from doing something we may later regret, but to maintain our inner peace. Death is part of life; they go together as well as good times goes with bad times. Everything we go through is a struggle not for failure, but to keep us holding on to faith to know that every struggle is productive as long as we keep striving and thriving to the end. Love is the key to survival, love is everything, and so is God, and so is poetry. This collection of poetic expressions is written to inspire and motivate myself and others to live every day, but one day at a time being better today than we were yesterday. We have no control of what lies ahead or within, but we do have control on how we choose to live or go about at what comes our way. Don't procrastinate about doing things that could make a difference. Life passes you by and so does time. Don't be a would have, should have, could have, but didn't. These poems are poetic expressions about life, death, family, friendship, jobs, experiences, and so much more for the inner soul.
