Produktbeschreibung
The Old Home Place is a collection of vivid memories about growing up on a little Arkansas cotton farm in the late 50's through the early 70's. This poetic tapestry weaves a beautiful story of life lessons that have been passed down with an enduring love from generation to generation. Anyone who has ever been part of a farm-family heritage will enjoy this personal glimpse into the lives of one such family and how the lessons they learned on the farm translated into real life applications as it touches the heart and inspires its readers. Even those who are not from a farm family will find much to appreciate as they too have their own cherished memories of home, love, and family renewed. The author takes us carefully through the "seasons of life" on the farm until we finally arrive at the final days of "The Old Home Place" only to discover that it really doesn't end there. The book is divided into four sections; THE PLACE, LOVE & FAMILY, SEASONS, and REFLECTIONS, each one having its own special beauty. Much of the poetry contained in The Old Home Place will no doubt be published again and again in separate works but the author says that this will be the only volume to contain all the poems along with the narrative and verse that gives the reader a keen personal insight into what lies "between the lines." Each reader will no doubt have their favorite poems or stories, but classics like, A Single Flower, The Passing, Hallowed Ground, Lonely to Be the Last, and I've Seen Enough of Life to Know, will one day be loved, read, and recited by thousands. Step back in time and remember what life is really all about; go back to "The Old Home Place" and enjoy the simple, unpretentious, Robert Frost writing style of this unique find. It's one that you will turn to often because of its heart-warming inspiration and down-home wisdom; it should be in every family's home library.
