Old Friends and Memories - E-book - ePub

OLD FRIENDS AND MEMORIESOne of the joys of growing older is the opportunity to meet another older person, or to observe two older people for the first time. Often such meetings are experienced with a mutual aura that both deserve respect and admiration because of the roads they have traveled and the experiences they've had. Often nothing is said in remembrance of the past: there might be only a handshake, a warm greeting, and sparkling eyes that convey a clear understanding of their unique brotherhood.
Younger people who witness such meetings might interpret the event as simplistic and unrevealing, when actually it is a treasure of human communication and a tribute to the spiritual nature of man. It was such a special friend of mine who requested copies of my poetry that were meaningful to him. In providing these for him, I found it convenient to furnish a master copy of all my life's work in poetry, which is the contents of this book.
Finally, I decided to make this work available to any others who enjoy reading poetry. TRUMAN DAYON GODWIN
