About the Book

This book is a very personal collection of poems and other writings that were written over a period of more than fifty years.  They were written at times of strong emotional feelings about love, death, triumphs, tragedies and , even, the most mundane of life's events. It took fifty years for the author to gain the insight , the perspective and the courage to reveal his feelings for all to see.  He hopes that the readers will see and recognize some of the emotion that plays such a big role in the lives of all of us.
