Sentimental Beginnings

About the Book

Sentimental Beginnings is a combination of a variety of poetry about inspiration, awareness, depth, courage, change, freedom, compassion, forgiveness, life, death. This book distinguishes what we have to offer of ourselves as human beings, and what we can offer. It will make you cry, make you laugh, make you stop and see things around you more clearly, give you hope, and permanently change the way you think about your fellow man, and about life.
