My poems pertain to growing up in the country enjoying life in a time of poor economics in a large family, but being rich in love and having enough of the basics of life through frugality. My motivation came from love and encouragement of friends and family and recogonizing God as the answer to all of life. I hope you may find blessings for your life. I want to dedicate these poems to my good wife who has been God's greatest blessing to me and a help mate to me for over fifty years. During my life I have been wonderfully blessed with many wonderful friends. I want to thank each one of my friends for sharing the gift of their friendship with me. God bless each one of you
