What do you do...
...when this journey of life takes you down streets that if you
had a choice, you never would have visited?

...when you've done all you could and you've stood but the trials waiting
just around the corner knocks you off your feet again?

...when you are faced with situations and circumstances that seem so perfect
yet a monkey wrench seems to appear from nowhere and you find yourself
trying to pry away from the very thing or person you've learned to enjoy?

Answer: Give thanks IN all things - not FOR all things for time will victoriously bring you out.

These poems have been created with everyday living experiences in mind; some in humorous ways and some in more serious ways. Just as some of us enjoy foods that are bitter sweet such as sugar-dipped limes, honey roasted asparagus, pork with jelly or lemon and honey; so we can learn to enjoy life as it serves us bitter sweet portions of triumphs and tragedies as we travel through uncharted territories.

These poems are designed to lift your spirits as well as encourage and strengthen you. You will know beyond a shadow of a doubt that no matter what circumstance is set apart for you to face on any given day, that you have the ability to prevail. You will then be able to help someone else when the aroma set apart for them causes travail.
