Every Second Counts: A Journey Through Life, Love, Faith & Hope

Some moments disappear in an instant. Others remain with us for a lifetime.

Every Second Counts: A Journey Through Life, Love, Faith & Hope is a deeply personal collection of 53 original poems by Keith R. Steinmeyer. Written from adolescence into adulthood, these poems capture the people, places, beliefs, losses, and discoveries that helped shape one's life.

Organized into five meaningful parts—Roots of the Journey, Faith Through Every Season, The Heart's Journey, The World Around Us, and Lessons Along the Way—the collection explores family and ancestry, prayer and remembrance, love and grief, nature and change, courage and hope.

Keith writes with emotional honesty and an accessible voice, transforming everyday experiences into lasting reflections. Each poem is accompanied by a personal thought, two questions connected directly to its meaning, and a simple invitation to carry its message into daily life.

This is more than a book to read once. It is a companion for quiet mornings, difficult seasons, family milestones, and those moments when you need to remember what truly matters.

For anyone who has loved deeply, grieved quietly, held on to faith, searched for meaning, or wished time would slow down, Every Second Counts offers a heartfelt reminder: our lives are shaped by the moments we notice and the memories we choose to carry.

Read a poem. Remember a moment. Make the next second count.
