Simple poems says it all. One of the nicest things about this book is that any literate individual can understand these poems and relate to many of them. As you read through this book I hope it makes you smile a little smile and cry a tear or two. I hope with each verse you picture the events and feel the emotion. If this occurs the book will be a success. If you are having some tough times or just a bad day and you think of one of these poems and it helps you get over the hump then this book has accomplished everything that I believed it could. Sit back, relax, and read. The only power greater than reading is the power of writing something worthy of reading. I hope that one of these poems will remain in your memory for a lifetime and that you enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoyed writing it. Thank you Mayne Leitzer
