Precious Things

About the Book

This is a book of poetry and photos with no discernible theme. The poems are about many subjects, from serious to lighthearted. They are for the enjoyment of anyone who likes to read about human nature and human foibles. It is easy reading and can be done all at once or one poem at a time. The poems speak of love, sadness, joy, human frailty and mortality, all of which are in the experiences of each of us. The accompanying photos illustrate the themes and quite often inspire them.
