    About this ebook

    There will be a day when we will have no more tears, sadness, fears, pain, and suffering. These are part of Jeremy Camp's song ,There Will be a Day. In this powerful song Matthew listened about the burdens of earth going away some day. God is going to wipe away the tears that we have.
    So here we are, with our burdens and our crosses. However, there is so much joy, hope, happiness, and strength in the world. There is a lot to enjoy in this life. Until that day that Jeremy Camp tells about, we will be on this earth. We might as well seek and find the joy that is present in this world.
    We are all together in this world. As we go on our journeys let us not forget this. Currently Matthew is a graduate student on route to be a licensed professional counselor. Matthew tries to find joy in each day and hopes that his poems speak to you. Matthew also hopes that we all listen to, are compassionate to, as well as are empathetic to, other people in the world. We need to work together on our right paths, and with God anything is possible. We just have to listen to and follow His will.
    Matthew prays and hopes that when we are together on our journeys we realize our togetherness. Religion, ethnicity, size, gender, and distance do no separate us from the love of each other. Our Higher Power, whatever Great Power that may be, in Matthew's case, Jesus Christ, keeps us on the right path. We are all human and will falter, but Jesus calls us back to Him with open arms to a life of complete fulfillment.
