Book Cover & Preview Text
4. This is a book I want you to know, That simple things God’’s love will show. We seldom think such things will tell, Of our life’s blessings when we’re well Even when we’re sick and in despair, These things will make us think and care; About the beauty on planet earth, And things we’ve seen and had since birth. So let us be happy and enjoy our life, And do away with war and strife, Let each day bring us some new thing, To which our hope will gladly cling.

About the Book
I have always been interested in rhyming poetry. I even have a tattered copy of the old, One Hundred One Famous Poems, where there is to my way of thinking some of the greatest use of the language other than the Holy Bible. Such poems as ‘Trees’ by Kipling; and Laugh and the World Laughs With You’ have been an inspiration to me for many years. Every where I have been, in church, schools, work or Lodge over the past seventy years, I have written poetry about something. In this book, I have written about many things I have either seen in my office, remembered from my past or have seen out my office window.

After becoming a teacher in 1951 and while teaching in the schools, he would write poems for his class and also for the school breakfasts the teachers had each year.
