A collection of poems, children's stories and essays. A few poems I have written over the past 40 years and finally decided it was time to put them in a book form - mainly to leave something for my children and grand children to read. This work is a compilation of 40 years of thought, fun, and memories that reflected where I was at that particular time of my life. I had been asked for years to assemble these poems and stories into something readable, but life got in the way. Finally, after all these years, and due to "things" that happen in life, I finally decided it was time to leave something for family, friends and those who might just enjoy my work.
