During my recovery from a stroke in 2002, I received the words for many of these poems in my sleep. I believe these words are not my own but are the words of God or divine inspiration. Over the course of the next few years, I wrote some of the poems myself, attempting to reflect on what was happening in my life at the time. Consequently, the book has four distinct chapters. The journey has not been easy, but with faith, I have made it through. The Lord never promised us an easy life but promised to be right there with us through it all. My wish is that whoever reads this book will find some comfort and inspiration from it. That is its intended purpose, and may God bless you.
