It's Simply Life

By Lenore G. DangerField

Simply Life is a book of poems. Each poem tells it's own story. You'll laugh, you'll cry because it touches you deep down to your soul. You'll find poems written about real life situations. It's inspiring and heartwarming. It's Simply Life. I find myself in every poem. One word or phrase or maybe the entire poem itself and if you look closely you'll find yourself too.

Dedication

To My Father Willie Glover

You spread your wings and flew away

Though you were never far from my heart

I love you daddy and I knew it was time

For you to make a brand new start

So I dedicate this book to you

If only you were here to see

How I inspire others with just mere words

I know you’d be proud of me

Acknowledgements

I wish to express my appreciation to my family, friends and co-workers. With special thanks to Marie, who have probably read every poem that I have ever written. She gives me good feedback.
