Description from the back cover

"Here is a delightful collection of poems composed from the author's boyhood up to the present time, and they are arranged in the order in which they were written. The poems express the emotions, feelings and experiences of all of us in our life's journey. Hence, the reader will find poems on Youth and Age, School and College, Trees and Flowers, Home and Country, Romance and Love, War and Peace, and Life and Death.

As there are periods in our lives when there is that intangible longing for something we cannot explain, the author has intentionally placed first in his book his poem "Longing," and has placed last in his book his poem "Tears," because tears are often the climax of longing, and assuage the grief that longing often causes. Between these two poems are poems expressing all the other emotions mentioned above. They are written in as simple language as possible, so that they can be easily understood and enjoyed.

This poet has lived, and his poems send out a soothing power of hope; the encouragement that so many hearts are seeking at this perplexing hour. There are five illustrations included in this book. - Cloth, Price $2.50"
