    Love to a Friend

    About this ebook

    In this book is a collection of poems telling the story of loves lost and won, of hope, and the longing and memories of those so cherished. Some are very lengthy, while others are of only a few phrases. Some of the poems came to me faster than I could write them, while others took a great deal of thought.
    But most of all was the inspiration that was borne of love and a deep friendship of a special person who encouraged me not only in our relationship but in the writing and eventual publishing of this work that I dedicate to her, my lovely friend.

    Ted W. Youngblood

    Born in Dallas, Texas on October 2, 1954, the author Ted W. Youngblood was the oldest of five children. Living in Texas, and later on in Oklahoma. While in Oklahoma he was taken to see the movie Dr. Zhivago in 1967, which helped introduce him to the idea of romance in his heart. After moving back to Dallas in the spring of 1968 the author lived a typical teenage life. In the summer of 1973 Ted enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps. Serving his country from 1973 to 1977.After his tour of duty he married Patricia Carson and had five Children, Fawn, Lana, Suzette, Andrew and Caleb. In 2012 a close friend read some of his poetry and commented that it was real good and that it should be published. At first he dismissed the idea, but curiousity got the better of the author. Soon he was checking websites on publishing. In 2014 Mr. Youngblood moved to Tyler, Texas and joined the East Texas Writers Guild to further his writing experience. Writing his first book is an adventure in self expression and a journey down a road to a new part of his life.

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.
