Early Morning Thoughts

About the Book

This book of poems is a reflection of what goes through my mind when I go out to work very early in the morning driving a garbage collection truck. The poems are based on individuals, real life situations, encouragement and giving God thanks for what we have or do not have. Every word written on these pages came from my inner most deepest thoughts and I chose to share them in the form of poetry. The intention is to get people to open their minds to certain situations, look within themselves and learn about things they had no idea of before and also to keep them interested and wanting for more information. Lessons can be learnt and we can all use this book as an avenue to try and bring back some love and affection in the world one word at a time.

About the Author

On the 8th day of October 1974 my little island called ST.KITTS experienced what was termed the worst earthquake in it’s history but also on that day a 10 pound baby boy was born and named ROMAINE BELGROVE. For most of my life I was raised in a poor family that didn’t have much money but an abundance of love for each other. I was always interested in most sports but mainly soccer as my first choice then basketball. I went from primary school right up to elementary then high school. During most of my school years I was called upon to read dramatic presentations and also to act parts in school plays. I say to myself that the Lord is using me to spread good cheer and hope to all people by blessing me with the talent of being able to just start with a few words then in less than an hour most times come up with poems of eight (8) verses or more. I also have great love for music and continue to play an active part in my country’s DEFENSE FORCE BAND. Overall I’m a fun loving person who likes to make people laugh and try my best to be a leader and look out for my fellowmen whenever the situation arises.
