The Presents

About the Book

The Presents – a compilation of poems, images and writings about the gift of life, a ‘joie de vivere’, -- much appreciated -- and its many inspirations that pique my mind to write. It is a depiction of events and people – all of which bring joy, some reflective nostalgia, with some emotional highs and lows. It is mostly gratuitous and hopeful, an inner feeling of love that lives within me. It is also a tribute to lasting memories, beauty, music, laughter, warmth of people, animals, nature -- and even a wonderment of some ‘iciness’ that exists. It is a range of life’s circles, emotions and elixirs. It honors a lost love -- a ‘hero’ – no longer here – but ‘somewhere out there.’ Sometimes words are all we have left. Words become treasures. This is my gift of gratitude for the power of love -- a beacon of light which radiates forever in my heart . Its fire cannot be quelled. That is the greatest love of all.
