Publisher's Synopsis
A month before his untimely and tragic death one of the best friends I have had in life - Oscar wrote the opening poem, "My Shadow." It seems that he had a premonition of his coming journey. This collection of poems though varied in themes and messages is a celebration of his colorful personality, unwavering loyalty and exceptional life. Oscar's extraordinary personality represented what is best in being human. He was steadfast in his faith in God and dearly loved his family-especially his dotting sisters. Oscar lived his short and remarkable life to the fullest. After his passing, I was reminded of the reality of what Martin Luther King termed as the fierce urgency of now. Suddenly, I appreciated our mortality and the fragility of life. This realization urges me to care about the people and issues around me, pay attention to the needy in society, pursue my passions and interest with a renewed fervor, honor God and love my family, friends (past and present) unreservedly. This book will give you a window to the stories and songs of my soul as I live, laugh, love and learn every passing day.
