Today, we exist in the middle of a world torn by the ravishes of war, progress, and greed and the resulting wood, steel, and mortar that make up much of our habited areas often hide or camouflage the beauty of nature. Momentarily outside a window, a blue jay appears or a city is blanketed with the super whiteness of a snowstorm or even a child sees the annoying presence of a roach or mouse across a kitchen counter, and we pause to remember that natures' voices are all around us, and surprisingly, we are in the middle of it all. You will find in this book of poems a reminder that there still exits natural beauty in the sky, the trees, the ocean, the flowers, and within you. You will be prompted to take the time to look and to listen, and you will find its beauty. In Nature's Voices, I hope you will find yourself, and hopefully, you will find the joy and hope that comes from knowing the love of nature's creator . . . God.
