In this book of poetry the reader will find poems, which come straight from the heart of the poet; many of which were written by request. Each poem has its own natural cadence and flows like a favorite song. This is a fresh new look at poetry with a variety of subject matter. Some poems explore issues of race, some of love, some of war and several are tributes to those who have gone on before us. There is wisdom and there is whimsy. A few poems will make the reader laugh out loud; some will touch the heart, while others are quite sobering. This collection of poems has been put together with a vivid and imaginative sense of writing style. The words that have been joined herein will surely lift someone's spirits, or at the very least bring a little sunshine to their day. A brief synopsis of each poem will give the reader a clue as to why the poem was created.
