Love Is Life MANUSCRIPT BOOK of Poems

A life's journey

To the center of the heart

Done through poetry

A story of adventure

Through the chapters of my life

And the unexpected journey

I now find myself on

Guided by the evolution

Of my dreams

The first eleven poems of this book were written in my youth to my love in life. We spent fifty-seven wonderful years together living and loving so many adventures in our life. We began this adventure on the first day we met and continued it throughout our lifetime together. The eighty-nine poems that have followed since her passing have been given to me to share with family, friends, and all souls wishing to feel the beauty of love and faith. They are truly an unexpected journey in finding myself and sharing this purpose with others who have experienced loss. I have been blessed with the words and thoughts to inspire me and others to live in the now. For there is a purpose for all in life to continue one's journey and share peace and joy with all we meet. My dear friend, Faye, sent me a note that read, "Keep busy, my friend, don't let your mind go there and give yourself a break. I know you are struggling today, try to keep your mind busy. The sun will come out. "I promise." These words have evolved into an unexpected journey to create a lasting act of love that shows grace, warmth, and kindness to share with all who dare to dream.
