Poems and Writings from a Broken Heart and a Romantic Mind

About the Book

This book was to help me move on from the death of my wife. We had been together for 50 years. It is written in a simple language, not in a sophisticated way where it all rhymes and makes perfect poetry. It was written from a broken heart and also from some dark times in my life after she died. The last section is just thoughts that I had jotted down while I was going through this. For those that are going through the grieving that happens when you lose a spouse, I sincerely hope that you will find some comfort in what you read and know that I truly feel your pain. They say time heals all, don’t believe it. It hasn’t for me.

About the Author

About the crazy person who penned this book: Born in West Virginia but grew up in Roanoke, Virginia. I met my wife in church, where I sang in the choir. She had seen me a number of years before we met, went home and told her girlfriend that she was going to marry me. I was indeed blessed. Fortunately, I got out of high school before they threw me out for poor grades. Spent four years in a two-year school, but after I was married in 1970, went back to school and was on the dean’s list. I have been everything from a deputy sheriff to a VP of sales and traveled the world. My home with her was always the best place to be. I am extremely proud of our two sons who took the chances offered to them and are very successfully in their own right. I was very blessed to have found my soulmate early in life. I can never find another.
