This collection of inspirational country tales and selected poetry, was compiled and published by Dean Goff, at the age of 82, to be passed on to his children, grandchildren, extended family and friends. LOVE IS A GIFT Love's not made to dormant lay in a safe, warm, place for a rainy day. Love's not a thing to trade or sell nor a toy with which to play. Love is real when it becomes a gift and the gift is given away.
