Considerations of Life

About the Book

Thinking about all aspects of life the good and the bad times I don’t believe I would have it any other way. Imagine if life was one straight road without twist and turns. No highs, lows, or obstacles to steer trough. What would be gained? What lessons would one learn from? The poems in this book are based on my own experiences, observations, and considerations. They are a mere glimpse of my journey, one that still travelling and learning from. Every twist and turn I travel is wonderful. I can’t wait to see where the road of life takes me next.
