This book is a small collection of poetry and prose complied over the course of thirty eight years. Pieces in the book date from 1976 "Night the Sleeping World" to a current piece written in 2014 "A Spot on Eternity's Wall" I have attempted to include a broad range of material with pieces ranging from romantic to humorous, from reflective and patriotic to spiritual. It is my hope that these pieces will hold meaning to the reader and in a way brings peace to a troubled mind. Patrick A. Whisler
