Heartfelt Moments

About the Book

I often find myself, Moving in slow motion, For no particular reason, Without any emotion. My mind is often wondering, Without a destination or trace, Wandering through this world, In an unfamiliar place ... —Derrick Graham Derrick Graham understands that life is full of ups and downs, love and hate, war and peace, and many heartfelt moments. In his first collection of poems, he opens his heart and explores memories and life lessons extracted from his life with the hope that his verse will inspire others to do the same. As Graham lyrically reflects on childhood through adulthood, he shines a light on his faith in God, patriotism, the sacrifices of soldiers, true love, heartache, the joy of a new day, and the profound moments that allowed him to look back on his choices and learn valuable lessons as a result. While gently guiding us down a poetic path, Graham reminds us of what is truly important in life. Heartfelt Moments shares a collection of poems that explore faith, hope, and love and their value in helping to create a balanced and happy life.
