    Life, Love and God Viewed Through the Porthole

    About this ebook

    Porthole was an early life nickname that has stuck with me for over seventy-five years. I had joined the US Navy Reserve and became an avid competitive sailor. My poetry reflects my views and visions on life and love and God. So I have used Porthole to identify those poetic literary efforts.
