I use poetic prose to write about the journeys of people from all walks of life. Each poem with this collection is presented to the reader with a short story of how I obtained the motivation to write each poem."Loves Tender Mercy" is about women who are abused. "The Last Face I See" is a love poem that I sent my wife while I was in Iraq. This book will be especially of interest to those who have had loved ones who served or are still serving in the military or public service Poems of PTSD will help family members to better understand these traumas."The Journey" will appeal to everyone world wide that is looking for inner peace and a better understanding of relationships.
