The Poetry and Writings of R.J. Lay

By Archbishop Ronald J. Lay

As you read this quaint little book, you will find the charming simplicity of Dr. Lay's poetry. Heartwarming thoughts touch us deep within our being, memories of loves we have had in our lives. Our family and friends that are so dear to us and of course, and our love of God. Lovers of poetry will find R.J. Lay's writings of nature, family, romance and God to be of the first order. When you began to read his prose materials, they're stories being remembered over the years. These stories are written with such exquisite as composed if writing a sympathy. They move you as music moves you. The writings pull you into them as if you had written them. You feel the grass under your feet with dew, the smell of freshly cut hay, hear the chirping of birds; as well as the water moving over the rocks. His writings carry you back in time to special places and special people. It was a time of comfort, joy and happiness when you felt peace and love all around you and know there was a loving God. R.J. Lay's "Words of Wisdom" section has words of profound thought. They are words that will open your eyes to the reality of life and help you understand what life a is all about. He writes descriptively the words with pen on paper the same way he creates on canvas with brush and paint. Dr. Lay is a fine writer and a wonderful addition to the world of American Poets. He is also quickly becoming known as one of Americas most known sensitive poets and being identified by many as " The weeping poet". You may experience tears of joy and sadness while reading his writings, as many tears were shed by Dr. Lay as he wrote this book.
