    About this ebook

    These words are not just memories but an account of the beauty within the good times and the bad. Through highs and lows, I wrote the words that I wished someone would have given to me. This is a collection of poems that make up a life story—the ups, the downs, and every moment in between. They serve as a reminder to take some time every once in a while to stop and smell the roses.
