Amazon.com description: Product Description: Farmhouse Footprints is about the journey and journeys of life that we all experience. This collection of poems is rooted in descriptions of people, images, and symbols, as in the farmhouse itself. Like the leaves falling from the trees in "Apple Tree Peasants," we are part of the greater forces of the universe and have a small role in mankind's passage through time. As we try to determine our own paths in life, we are constantly cognizant of our own finality. Farmhouse Footprints is a collection that reflects different stages of one person's life journey. Poems in this collection were written over time from a youthful exuberance in the 1960s to a more reflective time today, following the passing of loved ones and the decline of a family farmhouse.
