Poetry written on a typewriter for people gave me purpose. My vocabulary is strong, but what makes me especially good at what I do is the authentically empathetic nature I hold that allows me to connect with anyone on a deep level. At the end of the day, all I want to do is connect and create something beautiful and meaningful for you to hold forever.For this book, I am happy to share the poems that I created for my new friend whom I have never met in person, Bob Gold. Also included in the book are eleven inspiring poems I am sharing that are meant for everyone. They are accompanied by an illustration created by my beautiful fiancée's daughter, Hana.I hope you find in all of these poems a touch of the joy I felt creating them, and I invite you all to find your own Words to Lift By and share them with someone you love.For more information on the poet and his services, visit www.ryanashleythepoet.com.view less
