What we learn from life, its loves, its dreams and stories, as filtered through our hearts can be exposed for others to see.

Line by line, I live and write my own way to being, Free Poetically.

Through a series of heartfelt and raw poetry, ranging from love, loss, God, man, and country, David W. Watkins walks us through his life in verses of prose. From the joy of being a grandparent, to love's heartbreak and ceaseless joy, his words are profound messages of a life lived, and what it means to be human.
