Pain, Pleasure and Sacrifice: The Poems of: Marshall V. Thomas

It is said that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. It is a long, unforgiving, road to maturity, as nothing is handed to anyone. You will see me embrace love, marriage, and fatherhood, all while striving to overcome separation, hopelessness, and the harshness of the world itself. Watch me struggle and ultimately evolve as I find myself and stand up to become a man. Life can be defined in many ways. Through my own experience, I've come to see that life is pain; life is pleasure; life is sacrifice. These three entities are one in the same, thus making life... beautiful.
