One Man's Journey: Reflections of a Life's Journey Told Through Poetry

One Man's Journey. It's a reflection of my life's journey told in poetry. This narrative includes reflection on love, family, hurt, joy, disappointment, and the belief that God's ultimate will for my life will come to pass. The goal of the project is to encourage readers to understand that regardless of the circumstances God's sovereign will for one's life will come to pass. One of my favorite childhood memories took place on a Saturday morning. Our mom would cook homemade pancakes. As a teenager and young adult, we had many conversations at the kitchen table. Prayer, dating advice, ministry, nothing escaped her watchful eye. Many years after her time to rest, a tremendous revelation came to me. She was not a mechanic, carpenter, nor scientist. Mom was a cook. She told the most eloquent stories in the dishes she prepared. We all have a story to tell. I wanted desperately to be an athlete, but my frame would not allow it. The mental capacity to be a doctor was not mine. My instruction was to write. Vividly was the command given and my response was to obey. Each has his own vice. Like any man, tried they were but to an avail. Desperately wanting to escape, the only way was for me to write. By doing so defeated were depression, low self-esteem, and loneliness. This journey is more about you than it is me. When you read my journey, may you find a way to express your own.
