Innervisions, as my good friend Karen wrote in June 2002, is a collection of heartfelt poems that reflect the visions of a man who has experienced life and influenced many. These poems are a collection of my most inner thoughts and feelings, and love of God, family, and country. Most of these poems were written during the period from 1974-1976 on little bits of paper which I carried with me for over forty years. Innervisions is a book of poetry and visions of life, love, nature, peace and friendship. I wish to dedicate this book to my mother, Vera, who was a tremendous influence on my entire life and the successes I have achieved. Thank you, mama!
