Acknowledgements

I would like to thank God who has given me the thoughts that are written in the form of poetry. I would also like to thank my parents, siblings, children, church families, friends, and co-workers for helping me see the importance of following my dreams. Teaching for over fourteen years has helped me realize the value of perseverance. Life will present challenges. We must stay focus and press through the rough places. I hope that the poems written will enlighten the readers’ heart. Thank you and God Bless.

Keep in mind we are just passing through,

Do what you know God has told you to do.

That the life you live will turn out just as God wills it to be.
