B"HThe brief, yet recognizable 5-7-5 syllabic structure of haikus has helped to make poetry more accessible to billions of people worldwide.From its origins of discussing nature only, the subject matter of haikus has continued to evolve, and the haikus continues that evolution. Its haikus delve into more personal topics that readers will no doubt recognize and appreciate.From the incredibly joyous feelings associated with falling in love or a new addition to a family, through the unfathomable depths of the grief, sadness, and pain of losing a loved one, to the unbridled hope for a brighter tomorrow, the haikus has something for every reader.Like life, the haikus navigates between joy and sadness, between deep introspection and whimsical reflection, and more. In your life, and through the haikus, we hope you enjoy the ride.

Oh, God, I need a do-over! I need to do my whole life over! Look at this mess! Oh, God! I have made a mess out of my life! Father, I am a failure! Look at me, a West Point graduate, Army infantry officer, and I'm over 360 pounds! I'm in debt, I'm not able to pay my bills, I'm a tither and a giver, and I'm struggling from paycheck to paycheck! My wife has to work. I have failed as a father! My oldest children have turned from pursuing You! I'm called into the ministry and I'm afraid to do what you have called me to do! I go through the motions as a marriage counselor, as a men's ministry leader, as a teacher! God! Help me! Help me! God, I have ruined my life and wasted the gifts and talents you blessed me with. I want a do-over! This was my prayer several days a week on my drive home from work for about 18 months. I had chosen to be a victim! I allowed circumstances to dictate my choices in life. My journey began at 363 pounds. I have shared the wisdom God gave me as I started, continued, pressed through, and obtained my goal of reaching 180 pounds. I am not going to tell you that choosing to be a Victor is easy. I am telling you that you "must" choose to be a Victor if you want to succeed in this life!
