Moments in Life is about life which is sometimes hard, humorous, loving, difficult, and a wide range of other emotions. Life is about the connections we make with friends, family, and even furry critters. The poems in this volume address some of the things faced in life. These can be pretty, loving, funny or they can be gritty and hard, painful and difficult. Sometimes we have to scream at the injustices in the world and our life. Sometimes we have to embrace what is, accept where we are, and rejoice in the blessings we have in our lives.

This is a compilation of poems which were inspired at different times in my life. Inspiration is fickle and comes at odd times. Bringing them together in this format, I wanted to show the joyful and sorrowful aspects of life.
