For your reading pleasure, I have filled this book with a variety of 73 poems. Give it as a treasured gift, or keep it for yourself. This book of rhyming poetry is filled with many full page original photos and poems. Each poem is paired with a relevant photograph, and depicts feelings about contemporary life, love and loss. In this volume, you may find poems that mirror your own feelings. I have written poems of love, and heartache. I have written from the viewpoint of others, including a mother losing a child, drunk driving, and a victim who is ignored because no one wants to get involved. I wrote a poem about losing my mother, and another about finding love. All of my poetry comes from deep within my heart and soul, and I want to share it with the world. This book I give to you to cherish for years to come, or give to your favorite poetry reader or musician. Give it a chance, and I truly believe that at least one poem will be descriptive of how you felt at one time or another. If you do purchase my title, be sure to leave feedback, as it will be much appreciated. Enjoy Examples of included poems: It does not matter that we age As in great books we turn each page To read excitement from the text To savor what each word brings next. So as with age our pages turn Each moment is in what we learn In savoring all that might come next We write our own words in our text. Our memories are the pages read Excitement is what lies ahead. So as with books enjoy each page Each chapter of life, as we age. Know that in life, whatever comes next We are the authors that write its text. Or another: No abacus nor calculator can count the tears I've cried, For, God took you home with Him, He took you from my side. I know He has His reasons for choosing whom He takes He saw that you were hurting, and God makes no mistakes. He brought us both together and He gave us many years Of laughing, loving, living, to spite my endless tears. Farewell to you my love, you will never be far away I will carry you in my heart until We meet again one day.
