Dedicated to Poetry Lovers the World Over __________ Reaching for the Horizon is the result of many hours of hard work. It contains the thoughts of one man's soul as he struggles each day to understand the ways and thoughts of mankind and nature. After many years of work, the first step to understanding has finally been accomplished. This book represents some of those thoughts and concerns.

I would like to give thanks to the many poets whose works inspired me with new ideals ever encouraging me to continue striving for the hope of my dream. Their work I studied over and over seeking for the gift of capturing the poetic beauty from life and life' surroundings; I give thanks also to the many poetry readers and writers whom I hope someday my works will inspire too. Most of all I give thanks to God who has given me this gift to share with the world. Trailing the eagle's is a continuing search for the freedom to achieve the gift of poetic genius.

Join me in my new book of poems as I continue on the path to find the eagle's source of strength and freedom. I hope you find as much joy in reading them as I did writing them and hopefully this book and my others will convince you to seek out your own eagle, to find the best within you.
