IT’S A GOOD DAY TO DIE

About the Book

This book of poetry traces my struggles from childhood, through college, military, and adult years. My poetry is mostly free verse and rhyme. I utilize my life experiences to present a mesmerizing book of poetry. I present over fifty poems in this collection. The title is appropriate, because in reviewing my life, I conclude that any day has always been a good day for me to die. I believe like the Native Americans that it is important to begin each day fresh, and not let past problems or present distractions cloud how God wants us to live.
