REFLECTIONS: A POETIC APPROACH II

About the Book

It has been said that when writing one should stick with the known. These poems are a collection that evolved through my own experiences with life over many years. You will easily see that they cover a range of emotions-joy, sorrow, depression, etc. Some of the poems will show the reader a glimpse of me spiritual side, which is the most important part of my being. As I read them I find that they renew my faith again and again. It is my hope that as you read these offerings, they will awaken some memory and/or emotion that has a special place in your life.
