Growing with Prose is more than a small book of poetry: It encourages us to grow emotionally - and like it. While many novices to poetry are often discouraged by vague phrases and references, this treatise takes on a new approach, and invites even the previously disenchanted. It does this by providing a brief rekindling of the poem’s message. With this small enhancement, the meaning is less obscure, and becomes even more pleasurable with a second and third reading. The publication journeys from young adulthood well into the senior years, but with frequent flashbacks to early youth, thereby providing the background for lessons brought forward. The book provides fun and enjoyment, as well as many valuable lessons from which we can all derive benefit. It not only challenges us with desirable characteristic development, but provides problem-solving tools for remedy; the psychology entailed having provided comfort and solace throughout many generations. The subject matter does not shirk from contemporary issues. It addresses abuse with its varied distortions; causes us to reflect seriously on our deteriorating values; illustrates what greed and neglect are doing to our environment. Some of the poems are very thought provoking; others, playfully innocent, recalling memorable events long since vanished from our daily scene. It is appealing to both young and old, containing both hope and promise; providing potential for a new lease on life, coupled with a determined and rejuvenated spirit. I recommend that you provide an accessible place on your bookshelf for this worthwhile edition. Its musical words will linger with you, as its message is retained. I know it will be a favorite that will haveno dust on the cover
