Lessons Learned & Lost: A book of poetry and prose

So often in life, bad things happen and we haven't a clue why God would allow such events to take place. We worry, hurt, and shake the preverbal fist up at the heavens, and yet nothing changes. Life continues to be hard and we wonder what could possibly come from such pain. We struggle to learn the skills necessary to survive and function through the turmoil and chaos of everyday life.

Yet we endure. Slowly and painfully, we accumulate knowledge and wisdom. We are molded into stronger and wiser people. Life becomes a better place as we learn lessons and un-learn others.
