Welcome to the second edition of Alabama Poetry: The Words of Music Part II. I hope you will enjoy my book as much as I did writing it because it is based on feelings, and these feelings come from the heart. It takes a lot of time, effort, and hard work, but it is all worth it. Writing poetry has been a tremendous experience for me, and I find it such a wonderful feeling to have such a gifted and privileged talent such as poetry. I would like to dedicate my book in honor of my grandmother (Emma Presley Reed), as she was not only a grandmother to me but also my best friend. So again Iad like to say, aWelcome to my world of poetry, a with feelings of love held inside.
