Written to entertain and preserve a family's heritage, this collection of poetry has captured stories that are sure to bring a laugh, a tear, and thoughtful inspiration to almost anyone. Keith Bridges shares tales from his ornery childhood as a poor preacher's kid. From family life on the farm with many brothers and sisters, his stories weave through wily tales into his adult life of ventures with family and friends. He poetically narrates the turning point in his relationship with God and offers dozens of poems that will both encourage and challenge the Christian reader. Not to be taken too seriously, he concludes with a collection of nonsensical poems about curiosities and the humorous stages of aging. You will laugh, cry, think, feel, and laugh some more. This illustrated book is a story from page one to the very last and will be especially enjoyed by older adults. The inspirational chapters offer readings for quiet time, Christmas, or Easter. With over 150 poems, My Life is a great read-aloud for caregivers of seniors, fun for waiting areas in retirement communities, a conversation starter for activity directors, and an easy gift choice for Grandparents Day or a grandparent's birthday! AUTHOR BIO After leaving school in the 8th grade, Keith Bridges became a gifted writer, artist, and musician. Following his successful career in sales, he spent his later years as an Interior Designer and Landscaper. He has lived a life full - serving his local church, volunteering, building churches through missions, ministering in art and music, traveling, golfing with his buddies, and beautifully landscaping his property which is featured on the cover. This collection of poetry is dedicated to his wife, Bev, who is now celebrating in heaven. Keith and Bev raised three children and enjoyed decades of memories with family, grandchildren, and friends. Life around the Bridges house was never a dull moment, and Keith has creatively captured his zest for life, love of God, and tender family memories of times gone by. At age 90, Keith hopes this book will bring laughter and inspiration to all - and fond memories to each of those who helped make the stories inside its pages.
