Bud's Book of Poetry

In this book, I have covered a broad spectrum of topics in my poetry: faith, hope, charity, and love of God and neighbor, as Christ taught us to do. Subjects include church holy days, life and death, sickness, human relations, nature, humor, the changing seasons, the poor, the abused, the addicted, the homeless, pets, and wildlife. Being a WWII veteran, war and those who have served, been injured or died, the MIAs, and patriotism have always been important in my life. Each holiday or season inspires me to write about the current happenings. No two people see things the same, so I enjoy letting others see into my thoughts at the time a poem was written. Writing poetry is a shorthand to express my feelings and emotions on topics that are important to me. I hope you enjoy my poetry and ramblings through a variety of topics.With Gods help, I shall write as long as I can sit at a keyboard. Thank you for your interest in this endeavor.*****My FinaleI hear the Lord calling,Hes calling me home,thats why Im writing,this poets last poem.I love You, my dear Lord,when You call, Ill be there,it is You Ive adored,You have answered my prayer.When You do call me,Ill write no more poems,I pray Ill be taken,to my heavenly home.Bud
