    About this ebook

    Q Taylors Poetic Qures for the Youth presents a collection of poems designed to provide understanding and guidance to young people. It seeks to prepare them for unfortunate yet common social problems that they might first encounter when they attend high school. Covering topics that include peer pressure, bullying, drugs, working, and spirituality, among others, these verses may aid any teen in meeting the daily challenges of young adult life.

    Taylors goal is to positively empower the youth by helping them to discover new ways of seeing things that might normally trip them up and to view these challenges in a more positive light. For example, in Brighter Days, he explains that despite the storms and dark clouds, better days are coming. Enjoying Life makes clear that even though there may be much turmoil surrounding us, its important to make the best of our lives today.

    Poetic Qures for the Youth     offers youth a tangible way to direct their thoughts and feelings in a more positive way while acknowledging that life is not always easy.

    My First Poem

    When the rough and rugged winds of life descend upon men,

    sometimes we forget about the light that gleams at our destinies’ end.

    You can bare and grin at the anger that grows,

    while friendships and love often seem forever lost.

    The love that hurts

    sometimes can’t be retrieved,

    regardless of the ransom or cost.

    But before you reach that high of low

    and before you reach the sky

    and touch the ground,

    learn to douse those flames you spit.

    For what if the thing you value the most

    were no longer around?

    No more summer get-togethers

    or watching children coming up.

    No more soothing furry animals,

    no more family, friends, blessed fortune, or well-wished luck.

    When we give up and let it in,

    there’s a good chance

    for negative to win.
