<p>May you find in this collection of poems, appreciation and sacrifices made by others. Find your faith renewed, and yourself restored. Your adversities may seem greater than yourself and your mistakes may forever plague you. Forgive yourself as God has forgiven you. Believe in yourself and second chances. May you be uplifted from heartache and loss. Some of these poems were written from my own life experiences so I understand. Have faith in Gods unconditional love. Appreciate the simplest things and all the colors of character around you, and know there is always hope, just beyond the sunrise. Revised editions of, Colors of Character and Just Beyond the Sunrise are included together. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 1)">I reside in Kentucky, where I was born and raised.
