    About this ebook

    The poems are written in a style so they might be understood and enjoyed by the reader in general. In most cases the poems come quickly and some have to be hurriedly written down before they are forgotten. Most of the poems come complete, regarding the trials and experiences of the author, and are as teachings to help give understanding in order to ease the burdens caused by the uncomfortable situations of lifes trials.
    .
    Loving to play with words, many may start with an idea and a word and are then linked to a rhyming word into the thought of the poem and continued until the thought is completed with all the words needed for the poem being included. These were meant for fun.

      Dedication

      The poems in this collection

      and those I have written are

      dedicated to my family.

      In most instances

      they relate to actual circumstances

      and thoughts in my life’s journey

      and work as a journal

      following those experiences

      which I have accumulated

      throughout

      my life.
