Among my Dad's many talents, he was also passionate about his poetry -- and published two booklets of his poetry which I am sharing here in Portable Document Format (PDF). It should go without saying that this is my Dad's work and may only be used/copied/reprinted with appropriate attribution to my Dad.
His first booklet - God Said It! - is a compilation of poetry he wrote over his adult life. Most poems are undated, however he orally provided the approximate dates that are handwritten on some of the pages (some as early as 1956). He published his second booklet - Original Poetry - at age 94 - the year before he died. The last page (rear cover - click here) of this second booklet contains Dad's own explanation of the background of his poetry and these booklets.
