As I age, and my priorities change, I've discovered how important values are. Gratitude has become huge in my life, as I'm thankful for all life has to share. And though love is less a value, and more the power that turns our world, it's easy to forget how important it is in our lives.Colin does a splendid job of reminding us. Love is the powerful thread he's weaved through his poetry. His heartwarming remembrance of his departed Mum made me think of my late Mother. How easy it is to forget of things that made us happy...the author helped me remember.Lost someone or something you loved? The beautiful poems here offer an opportunity to visit/revisit people and places and things that might have gone physically from our lives, yet they're always just a thought away. And as central as love is in the author's poetry, I'm also reminded to be grateful. Thank you for the memories, Colin!
