Background
Over the long years of my life, I have always written~poetry, short stories, essays. I've always expressed my feelings best through words. In this book is a collection of my poems.

Soft summer mornings are the best
when I awake from night of rest;
the heat has not had time to set,
there's hardly any stirring yet.
The birds all chirp and carry on,
the dew's just fading from the lawn.
The world is mostly still asleep
when I get dressed and softly creep
out to the yard and lie in grass
to watch the wispy clouds float past.
I munch an orange cut in thirds
and share my bread with all the birds.
I see the bumblebees fly by
and watch the sun rise in the sky.
I listen to the nature sounds;
I watch the ants march underground.
The katydids all hum and shrill;
the chipmunks chirp their airy trill.
I share this early morning time
and know this summer day is mine.
