Description: This book contains poetry which shows the necessity for love and friendship for others, as well as writing in easily understood fashion. I emphasized this by using the style of an old child's poem from England, "There Was A Crooked Man". The title is:
"Simple".

I am  simple man
Who would walk a simple mile
To write a simple verse
To bring a simple smile.

There is no hidden depth,
No twisted mystery.
Open is each thought
For everyone to see.

If a thought were hidden,
No one would know the meaning.
Everyone would then interpret
To gain their own gleaning.

Though one might say hereafter,
"This is what he meant",
I'm not sure that Bird dog
Would be on the right scent.

But, if I write that simple verse,
As I walk that simple mile,
You'll know the simple meaning,
And give the simple smile.

This poem is in the forward of the book.
