With a story or anecdote for each day of the year plus a scripture verse and a prayer, each volume offers daily inspiration throughout the year. This is the...

I have been writing poetry on and off for over forty years and this collection includes only a small portion of the poems I have written. Influences over the years have come from different sources, such as people, including my lovely, loyal and very patient wife, Zelma. Animals have also contributed in one way or another to what I write, as have music, nature and death, morbid as it sounds.
