In the poem “A Library In My Mind,” the author made an inexcusable impressive question of thought, he asked

Why do I write like a man in

love with a woman but falls

in love with words as my true love?

In the poem “Christ Is the Same” the author was able to capture the entire message of the gospel revealing the purpose of Jesus Christ and God’s intention for humanity.

Jesus came to die for all,

He invaded my soul and gave me a call.

Jesus gives me hope to live,

He is the only one who can forgive.
