Surviving

by Joe Hill

I am a thirty-six-year-old man, born in Des Moines, Iowa. I have an eleven-year-old daughter and sixteen-year-old nephew, both of whom I love very much. Without them this world would be unbearable. They give me reasons I never knew I had to live. I thank God every day for the things He has given me, even the things I don't understand. Poems and my children help ease the pain that everyday life can cause. I have recently found out that you can do anything you want when you believe in yourself. And that's what I will be teaching my children.

This book of poetry is thought provoking, as all poetry should be. I found it to be a bit pretentious though. They're written more as character profiles for imaginary characters, not the personal musings of the author, which I would have preferred.
