ms written from the hearts of the authors. If you enjoy poetry, this is a book for you. This book was written to encourage not only the authors but anyone who has ever had a dream that they want to accomplish. It lets you know that no matter how young or old you are, you can still reach your goals. It has poems that are based on an adult's views and thoughts and on a child's views and imaginations. The adult side of the book contains poems about spirituality, faith, emotions, nature, and memories. Also, they are written from life experiences. It is intended to reach people who are either about to go through life situations or are in a storm or have made it out. Either way there are poems you can relate to.

Stemming over twenty-three years to the present day, the words written here are meant to make one think, appreciate, have faith, smile, and overall enjoy life with all its ups and downs. Be grateful you're still here. Make the best of it while you still have a chance. Whatever is for you is for you; no one can stop it. Step outside the box because you never know where or how far you can go. Be steadfast and humble, and always put the Most High first so you can be blessed.

We hope that our book can touch someone's heart. After all, our hearts are where it came from. The children's side of the poems are all about different things: love, thankfulness, feelings, and nature. These poems are not all about what is seen but what is felt too. Some of the poems are heartfelt or even sad. I even wrote a poem honoring my mother.

We're all different in some ways more than others, so let's embrace that for the better. Some of the poems don't make sense at all, and that's the beauty of it. Being a writer is not as easy as you think. Sometimes, poems can take time to write. Some of the poems also came from the imagination. They are the ways we feel and see things in our own special ways. These poems are written to touch you in a special way and make you smile.
