Straight From the Heart

The material in this volume was inspired by God from His heart to mine and it is now published with much gratitude and with your hearts in mind. Things in the world today have had a stimulating effect on just about everyone, therefore, professional poets as myself have been spokesmen for the inarticulate and a host of other unknown writers have acquired or should acquire reputation. An immense amount of poems have been written by soldiers around the world in active service just to get through the day and that is what this little book is for, something to help you get through the day. It should be apparent that I am not a sectarian in art, abut am thankful for poetry wherever I find it. I have endeavored to make clear the artistic, intellectual, and spiritual significance of many of our situations in life today. The difficulties of such an undertaking are obvious; but there are two standards of measure. One is the literature of the past, the other is the life of today. Let go of the past so that you may enjoy the life that you have in front of you today. In this little book I hope that you will see the past as that, the past, and then see the life you have today and be thankful for everything that you have gone through in the past but let it go and be thankful for the life you have today and everything that you will endure in the path to a wonderful life.
