INTRODUCTORY

I hope that this book will be an encouragement and balm to the soul. We can never predict how our life is going to turn out. All we can do is just live. We might be able to have control on certain success and achievements, or you might be a person who is still trying to figure out the chaos and noise. Regardless of the motivation, I hope that one of these poems will speak to your heart. May it inspire thoughts of hope, assisting, and loving others. Together, we can all make the world a better place to inhabit.
