Picture Posies: Poems Chiefly by Living Authors and Drawings (1874)

Alliver was created from half of a dream I had, and I enjoyed making him. He is momentarily weak, made strong, and most importantly he is faithful in his beliefs for God, love and the family. In my thinking of my needs, I thought about yours and making him God fearing was the best thing to do. I love my Lord and through Him I am able to write. It is my wish to keep writing, as long as I can keep dreaming. I have so many future books I would like to do for you, that concern you, me, us, we. As long as you will keep reading I will keep writing. I will be heard. Iam going to tell you a little bit of the plot. Alliver keeps losing, while he keeps holding on. If itas not one thing for Alliver, itas another. In this story you will see how one man, from the voice of another, learned to first love God and then trust Him and then himself. But I wonat tell you the whole story; youall have to read the book or wait for a movie. Alliver does lose his way from time to time, but heas thankful to have had some good voices on his side, in his ears, and his letters to which he holds onto for reflections.
