With You in Mind

Publisher Marketing: This book of Poetry will have a wide appeal to all readers because of content variety and age group relevance. Poems address many subjects and were written as currently as year 2013, while some other poems reach back over the years. One stellar example is the poem titled "JFK, The Death of Our President." Written in 1964, just months after the President's assassination, the poem captures the essence and emotions of that day with a rhythmic beat that makes you re-live the day, while it remains historically factual in content. There is Christmas, which millions of people celebrate every year. For you, "No Room in The Inn" will trigger the question "how could this really be?" especially if you link your reading with the poems "A Phenomenon Indeed" and "Now, I See!" On the flip side, you'll find poems which acknowledge today's environment. For example, "A Teenager's Farewell" will touch your heart because it deals with the suicide of a lovely teenaged girl. "Tears From Our Young Ones" challenges all of us adults to become mentors of young people around us, while "The Boy, the Teenager, the Man" is intended to encourage young people around the world to pursue success, assured their dreams are achievable, with hard work. Ladies and mothers will surely enjoy selections such as "Mother, Woman, Friend," "A Sister's Plea," "An American Act"(starring Ms. Oprah Winfrey - unbeknownst to her), and the delightful "If I Were a Woman." For the many who may be searching for a meaning to life, knowing fully well that this cannot be all there is, you will find resources to help you along. In doing so, look at history from a different perspective by reading about Jesus who is featured in several poems. He walked on the open sea! Doesn't that fascinate you? And now I ask - Is it possible to complete a book of poetry without addressing the heart issue? I think not. So, please pause and get your fill with "My Darling Wife," "Found Her at Last," "The Essence of Love," and "If You Were not Here." May you enjoy and benefit from these writings, as much as I enjoyed putting them together, with you in mind.
