A compilation of poems, short stories and blurbs about life and death, happiness and sadness, as well as companionship and isolation. Also included in this collection are general thoughts on who we are, where we have been and where we are going in this game of life. This body of work is based on several journals that span approximately two decades in the life of the author. These two decades saw a boy grow up into a man, fall in love, get married, divorced, suffer loneliness and discover the hope to continue forward. These journals are all brought together for the first time in this collection for your reading enjoyment.
