Christopher Davis has been writing poetry since Ms. Erno's fourth grade class, but it wasn't until the passing of his father in 2010 that he truly realized how much it meant to him. Writing poetry became his way of dealing with love, loss, happiness, pain, and the everyday struggles of life. He often finds himself "tickled by words" as he writes and aims to pass the same feeling on to his readers. He would like to dedicate this book to his mother, father, family, friends, and the random collection of faces, ideas, and moments that led to the production of each piece in this book. It is his hope that each of you will find something within these pages that you'll take with you for the rest of your life.
