Never Give Up

About the Book

I’ve always thought that ‘Hold On’ would be my last book. Certainly after a vicious attack in 2008 that destroyed my life for many years. The writing was difficult, I couldn’t concentrate, didn’t do much writing for several years, due to these injuries and the struggle with my health. So I started to publish my writings in small and cheap little poetry books and that was the positive side of it. After more than 7 years the doctor finally found a good medicine and it felt like coming alive again. So much energy and inspiration that came back to me, I could focus again without having pain or headaches all the time, I didn’t feel tired anymore, my life had started again. Again another proof that God is still on my side and I call this medicine the miracle of God, that’s also what I told to my doctor. So here it is already, my number 5 ‘Never Give Up’ and I would like to say thanks again to Xlibris, for hanging on and also believing in me when times were rough.

About the Author

I was born in Belgium on the 4th of January in 1958. I became interested in writing when I was younger. Not just writing, ‘cause writing a book is only one story. I wanted to create, make new stories, over and over again. So I started writing poetry, not just a few lines but in a way nobody else does. A whole page with a whole new story. In a simple manner, poetry for everybody, where one doesn’t need a dictionary to understand, feel and recognize what the poem is about. Everywhere I was, I just started writing a few lines on a piece of paper or on a beermat. Sometimes these lines came easy, sometimes it took me many weeks to complete a poem. Though most of these poems came without a plan.
