POETRY OVER TIME

About the Book

This book of poems celebrates the great gift of time that is given to us on earth. It is not endless but rather very limited so we should make the moments count. The poetry tries to capture specific moments and thoughts as the years go by. The arrival of grandchildren sends the message that we must make way for the new generation, whether we are ready or not. Life is a state of constant change.
