Dedication

Dedicated to My Wife,

To Our Family,

And to all those

Who have taught me –

Formally

Or informally.

Reflections

I look in the mirror

And I think:

I’m a set of reflections –

Of “special moments”,

Old and new,

Of all life’s phases

I’ve been through,

And all the places

I’ve been to…

I look again,

And I think:

Maybe I should share

Those reflections –

At least, a few…

Introduction

Some people sing in the shower; others write “personal poetry”. I do both – for the same reason. I have to. It’s in my nature. I suspect it’s the same for the birds that sing in the trees – it’s in their nature, too.

Some may say my poetry is pedestrian – not worthy to be shared publicly. They may be right. I’m too close to it to be objective. Like the birds, I just sing – privately and publicly, right or wrong.

A small number may say, “hey, his stuff isn’t that bad…I kinda like one or two of his poems.”

This book of poetry and illustrations – this set of songs – is an offering to that small number.
