The Roller Coaster Called Life

About the Book

The Rollercoaster of life is book of poems that were written from different thoughts that crossed my mind. All the poems were written from different experiences in my life, some good, some bad, and some spiritual. Life can go up and down like a rollercoaster, but you have to keep faith in God to keep moving forward and to never give up, and that is the main thing I want people to get from this book.

About the Author

Terrence D. Beard is an author who started writing poetry while dealing with his fathers battle with cancer. He grew up in East Stockton, Ca. and had to deal with many trials and tribulations. I did a little writing when at Franklin High School in the mid 80's but never envisioned myself writing a book. Sometimes when we go through rough times in our lives we discover different gifts within ourselves, and when my dad Rufus W. Beard Jr. passed away in the year 2004, writing turned into my outlet to deal with the pain. I am a Union Carpenter/Lather who travels throughout California and Nevada, to work and feed my kids. Loyal is the word what describes me the best, and I dedicate this book to my dad, my kids, my wife Ladwan Beard, and to all my family and real friends.
