    Expressions of Truth
    Author

    Allan Sumner

    Born 23rd February 1930 in Salfords, Redhill, Surrey, married to Mary forty-seven years, five children, fourteen grandchildren. Served eight years RAF. Written many poems and songs. Some of which have been published. My poetic inspiration started at school. I write about life, experience, and my innermost thoughts. My ambition is to convey a message in print of how I personally see this world I was born into. I hope the reading public will understand my verse in rhyme, and trust it gives pleasure to all poets no matter what colour or creed throughout the world.
