    About this ebook

    The poems in this book were written to encourage, comfort, and inspire. Just as a flower needs both sunshine and rain to flourish, so it is with mankind. Sometimes we welcome sunshine and shun the rain, but both are needed in order to flourish. Too much of one and not enough of the other can be detrimental. It even takes a ray of sunshine after the rain to create a rainbow. This book consists of a group of poems that reflect on the upshot/results of both sunshine and rain.
