About this ebook
outcome. We are all the same in that we all feel emotions regardless of
who we are. I have always been of the opinion to use rhyme as a simple
means to express, as concisely as I can, the reasons why we feel the
way that we do and perhaps the reasons why we do the things that we
do. For whatever takes place in life, we are all susceptible to the same
emotionsregardless of our varying experiences. In turn, it is because
of what we feel and experience that make us who we are, or rather, who
we have the potential to becomefor better or worse. It is my intention
that my poems serve as a reminder, or conversely, serve as an additional
insight into the fact that we can all rise above our circumstances. Oft
times we fall short and in doing so fail to see our worth or the worth in
otherseither because we fail to remember or fail to do, i.e, to remember to
do what is necessary to help ourselves and to be there for others! I have
sought to make these poems as insightful as I could, enough to see that
we all deserve to be redeemed in one way or another!

9770.pngThe Road Back Again
Feeling you have wandered, along life’s misty tracks
Would you not rather, the road leading back
Strayed like a lost cat, wayward with no friends
With life somewhat lonely, the list has no end
At times making mistakes, really wishing to succeed
Uncaring people frowning down, instead of looking up to see
How sure as day I would accept, a broken soul to mend
Instead of nights so darkened, a chance to live again
Fortunately I came across, a traveller beside a tree
His sight in one direction, he beckoned unto me
He enquired where I was going, knowing I had strayed
It was then he said so caring, I’ll show you the right way
With so little an effort, in just to say he cared
We walked the road back again, once walking with despair
And as we walked I noticed, familiar sights I’d seen
On my way back, to where I once
