In the Hands of the Living

By Xlibris US

The beginning of great things!
Cant custom myself to wait much longer, to let the world experience life in my shoes.
I have to tell everyone the troubles, habits and wonders Ive been through. Ive wrote about everything.
Things that Ive seen, heard, pictured and dreamed.
So be my eyes, now you read my rhymes, my lyrics and go with me be aware for this journey Ive traveled for so long, but yet I live!


This book is about the poetry of past experiences growing up. This book has special dedications of poems and goes through numerous of phases I had through the years. A lot of my poetry is just clearing my head of these emotional experiences and being able to read back on my emotions to help me make better decisions in my future.
