I have titled this book Poems for the Common Man. They are written for everyday reading by every man and woman. I believe they were sent by the Holy Spirit to bless people through these words. As you read these poems, search your heart to see if God has touched you in some special way. If he has, thank him for giving me these Poems for the Common Man. Thank you, Lord, for allowing me the opportunity to serve you with such a fine talent that you have seen fit to bestow on your humble servant. May these words bring a new light in the darkness of a world so lost in itself. Allow them to speak to your heart as you read them. But please give all praise to your Father above.

--Richard D. Mapes
