Nana’s Book of Four P’s: A Book of Poetry, Prose, & Personal Philosophy

By Linda J. Stipe

This is the author’s second book of poetry. If she had created a ‘bucket list’, this would have been on it. Her love of poetry began at an early age. She was required to learn different poems in elementary school, and by the seventh grade, began to write her own poems. Many of her poems have come to her at night when she has retired for the night, so she keeps a pen and tablet close by to capture the words on paper. Her love for her Savior, Jesus Christ, shows in many of her poems, along with her love for her fellow man. There are some poems that are just for fun and to put a smile on the reader’s face.

Her hope and desire ae that if just one person is touched by her poems and finds themselves seeking ‘The Way’, then her poems are doing their job and she will have succeeded in her goal.

A Little Boy And His Toy

Once there was a little boy

Who had a special toy.

And when a friend would ask with it to play,

The little boy always had the same thing to say.

No! It’s mine he’d reply in a selfish tone.

You go get one of your own!

One by one his friends would leave,

And the little boy began to believe

That he was very very smart,

And with his toys,
