My Poetry Thoughts of Life, Love and Dreams

About the Book

THIS BOOK OF POEMS HAS BROUGHT TOGETHER MY THOUGHTS ABOUT LIFE, LOVE AND DREAMS OF MINE OVER THE PAST 35 YEARS. I STARTED WRITING JUST OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL AND CONTINUED TO THIS VERY DAY. THE POEMS OF LOVE WERE WRITTEN FOR MY WIFE SHELLY DURING OUR COURTSHIP FOR THE PAST 5 YEARS CULMINATING IN OUR WEDDING ON SEPTEMBER 13, 2008. I LOVE TO SEE THE REACTION OF PEOPLE’S FACES WHEN THEY READ MY POEMS. IF IT MAKES THEM LAUGH, SMILE, CRY OR BRING BACK A MEMORY IT MAKES ME FEEL GOOD. I HOPE WHEN YOU READ THESE, THOSE THINGS WILL HAPPEN TO YOU.
