The Road Ahead

OThe Road AheadO comprises the poems Mark Decker wrote in the years 1982 & 1983. These began some of the happiest years of his life, after a tumultuous decade of the 70Os. The 70Os were a time of graduating from college, moving to Washington, working in the White House, trying to establish a career, law school, Watergate, learning how to manage/juggle career and family. In the early 80Os, we find him happily married to his bride Molly, with two children - Mark (7) and Susan (1.5). Included with the poetry, interspersed throughout the poems, are images - some old, some newer - that the author pulled from his pictures and other items that bring back happy memories and which he hopes you will like as well.
