This book was written to give voice to those who, for whatever reason, cannot speak for themselves. These words speak to the pain of life -the failing mind, the broken home, heart, body and spirit. They also speak for the rights of the poor and needy, the destitute. They are meant to urge the reader to judge others fairly, realizing that no one gets through life without some facet of "the darker side of life" touching them on a real and personal level. It is for those who are suffering and struggling to find something or someone to hold onto that these poems were written and as a reminder that somewhere deep within, there will always be a song.
