Poems and Rhymes from Various Times

About the Book

A keen sense of humor and a love of life and truth are shared in a variety of poems that most can relate to. Personal feelings by the author are not meant to influence any personal ideas or to change set ways. I hope a smile or a feeling of comfort can be shared through these pages as I wrote them remembering a wonderful and eventful life.
