Parable of Buried Treasures, Sacrifices, and Masked Beauty

Rondell Smith has endured many trials and tribulations during his lifetime. In his moving collection of poetry and prose, Smith forms his struggles, passions, happiness, and heartache into an inspirational pathway for others facing similar challenges or circumstances. Smith, who intersperses words of wisdom with lyrical verse, leads others through his experiences with love, finances, hope, and faith while providing a glimpse into his personal life lessons as he learned to bravely confront his obstacles, rely on God, find his way out of the darkness, and ultimately realize happiness. Included are words of wisdom about the innocence of children, the importance of faith in everyday life, why mistakes are lessons, and why we should treat others around us with the utmost respect. This book of poems shares one man's reflections on life with the hope that both adults and children can better understand themselves as well as others, and know that on this up-and-down journey through life, we are never alone.
