    About this ebook

    The Sandpiper is a book of poems that is easy to read and easily understood as it is made up of emotions and things that most of us, as young to old adults will identify with. There is beauty to be found in even the saddest events we share through out a lifetime. The Sandpiper touches on many subjects and follows one womans events and paints a happy picture and often a sad face as she deals with a normal life that includes marriage, children, divorce and death. It shows the importance of faith as she moves through troubles and finds the strength to rise above the heartache of loosing two husbands and faces the world once more with a happy heart and a smile.The Sandpiper shows the role of family love and gives new insights into the appreciation of nature and the beauty God has painted in our world.

    Annie Way Kirby

    Annies down home roots are set in rural Danville Alabama and a real tug of war occurs when the Crimson Tide Rolls and the Dawgs bark. Thats when you get your answer to the question, Where you from? Annie is the mother of three sons, Scott, Todd, and Corey Kirby. She attributes a lot of her writing and poetic insights to the miracle of their birth. She is Nonny to Courtney, Marlee, Kaylee, Valerie, Victoria, Brandon, Harlee, Johnny Kirby and Taylor Hart. Each grandchild is a beautiful poem with a new verse written each day. Annie is a medical Secretary and enjoys life and the people she comes in contact with on a daily basis. If there is one gift shed like to give to the world it is the absolute beauty she sees in an early morning sunrise and the wonderful hues of an autumn sunset suspended between heaven and earth.

      Summer: A Love Story

      Apr 20, 2021
