About the Book

This book contains original poetry that addresses many topics, mostly spiritual. It also contains historical and humorous poetry. Poems about the sea and ships, fishermen and pirates. It is easily understandable, and would be a nice book to read to your children, or for you to find spiritual solace. Some of the writings were for Canadian and British friends, special programs, towns, ships, and so very much more. It is a celebration of life, so much so that it is truly More Than Words Can Say. In reading it, and with a liberal dose of imagination, you'll see what I mean.
