About the Book

Lines from the poems in this book –

“In the garden of my heart a lovely flower grows”
“Wildflowers to me will always be the loveliest flowers that grow”
“Whenever I see yellow daffodils – I forget my age and ills”
“Your love and your gentle smile are all that makes my life worthwhile”
“The world needs no wars – tis love and love alone we need”
“Joy is the most beautiful word I know – it seems to glow like glistening snow”
“How could one small bird’s heart hold the bliss of such a store of happiness”
“My heart is full of songs of the sea - and all of the songs are memories to me”
“Her heart is like the ocean never quiet ..never still”
“Songs of waves that roll and ride – out to sea on a swift running tide”
“Just for a day I’d like to play – I was a little mermaid child and do things wild”
“The day’s work is over - worries cast aside – we two sit together alone at eventide”
