The Night of Nine

The Night of Nine is an anthology of poems the author composed for his wife to celebrate special times, such as Valentine's Day, Easter, Mother's Day, and birthdays. The book contains other poems presenting themes of true beauty, young love, commitment, a mother's eternal love, animals, God's goodness, and humor. The final poem is the namesake of this book and concerns a young man's journey through his life, with all of its challenges, fears, blessings, kind moments, and strengths. This work is intended to inspire, provoke thoughtfulness, elicit emotions, cause laughter, strengthen faith in life defeating death, and, most of all, entertain.
