About the Book

"67 LYRICS 4 U" IS A COLLECTION OF HUMAN EXPERIENCES INSPIRED FROM MY OWN LIFE AND THE STORIES SHARED BY PATIENTS, FRIENDS AND FAMILY. 

THE LYRICS REPRESENT MY PERSONAL JOURNEY AND SERVE AS A VEHICLE FOR OTHERS TO CONTEMPLATE SIGNIFICANT EVENTS IN THEIR OWN LIVES.

THE PIECES HEREIN ARE ORGANIZED THEMATICALLY INTO FOUR SECTIONS:   THE FIRST REPRESENTS THE ENERGY AND HOPE OF A BUDDING ROMANCE, THE SECOND PART COMMUNICATES MESSAGES OF INSPIRATION FROM DIVERSE LIFE EVENTS, SECTION THREE FOCUSES ON FACETS OF LOVE RELATIONSHIPS COMING TO AN END. IN THE LAST SECTION I SHARE  A SERIES OF PERSPECTIVES THAT ENABLES ME TO ACHIEVE PEACE AND ACCEPTANCE IN MY OWN LIFE. 

EACH PIECE IN THIS COLLECTION IS WRITTEN IN THE FORM OF A LYRIC AND THEREFORE A MORE MELODIC EXPRESSION OF MY PERSONAL JOURNEY.  

OPEN YOUR MIND AND SOUL TO THE MESSAGES IMPLICIT IN THESE WORKS.   MANY IF NOT ALL WILL RESONATE WITH YOU AND HOPEFULLY DEEPEN YOUR OWN APPRECIATION FOR WHO AND WHAT YOU ARE.
