Life's Tree: Lessons of Life

This is a book that tells the stories of my life In poetic form. My mother, had 4 of us to care for go back to school and work. I sometimes wonder why she didn't drop dead from the work. I meant this to be an endearing book to honor the struggles of life. It has been an observation of my own life that the men I valued most seemed to own the least. This is so true that I cannot deny it. I imagine it was true life struggles that gave to them their great nature. I simply wish to shine the light upon our own misguided ways. I am forever looking back upon the road I traversed. I don't always like what I see. But I have for reasons unknown to me always been able to see the better angel of my nature. I look into the hopeful eyes of my granddaughter and see the beautiful soul of innocence. It is for that hope that I strive to be a better man.
