    About this ebook

    This book is filled with contemporary poems written as mini short stories with a message. A few are waiting for someone to attach a melody, perhaps you. Here you will find stories that help draw you closer to God and others that remind us of our freedoms so many take for granted in my home country, the United States of America. Im sure you will also enjoy my stories of true love. No matter what your age is, theres something in here for you.

    Author

    Gary L Tucker

    Words can cut sharper than a knife, or they can comfort and inspire people lifting them to great heights. After fifty-three years of seeing people filled with confusion and with no direction in their lives, I decided to try and help in the only way I know how. I picked up a pencil and a note pad and started writing about life situations we all must face, offering hope and inspiration. Most of the stories in this book are rooted in the Bible, which is the only thing that last. It is my desire to lift and inspire my neighbors near or faraway. Here you will also find stories of my home, the United States of America. Americas leaders are a representation of its people as a whole. This is why I feel the urgent need to write about her and the condition she is in. Perhaps my words will inspire someone to be the next George Washington or Abraham Lincoln.

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.
