Love Your Wife
By W. R. Stowe
Hi this is W.R. Stowe with my wife Jocelyn. We were married in the Philippines where she is from. My “Love Your Wife” book of poetry is compiled of all the poems I wrote to my wife while we were courting online some 10 months, and then while we were separated while her VISA was pending. I also included some poems about a person that was grieving after his wife had passed away. I know I installed true emotions within my poetry and I think you will feel the love and longing we had for each other.
A little bit about myself, I am 62 and live in Ohio and mostly I have spent some time in Texas, Michigan, Maryland, and California in the United States. Then a few trips to the Philippines.
I trust that many wives will acquire this book and share it with their husband so they can see how much love I have for my wife. God bless you and may all your marriages be successful.

People of God – One and All Come and Be … Part 1
Her poetry is inspired by the Holy Spirit, many times with an instructional focus. She received and discovered this gift to write poetry in her latter years of teaching. In her first book People of God – One and All: Saints and Sinners, different aspects of being a saint and a sinner were explored. In both parts of this new anthology, the poetry includes a variety of topics for meditation and self- reflection. In People of God-One and All: Come and Be…, Part 1 she explores the concept of grace, relationships, and sacred struggles. In Part 2 she explores this through the wonder of God, the production of fruits evolving through faith, and how to be bold in faith. Both books explore and ponder upon the ideas of faith, relationships with God and each other, and what is expected in carrying out one’s faith. Scripture passages for further study and references are provided with most of the poems to further question and reflect on one’s faith and how to mature oneself and share faith with others.
In retirement, she quilts with many being made for philanthropy projects locally and around the world. Additionally, she reads, does genealogy, and actively participates in church activities.

Picture Poems Volume 1
Synergy of Image and Verse.
A photograph is worth a thousand words. Poetry paints word pictures using poetic imagery. On their own, they each are exquisite. Combined they become something else – a powerful composition that blends the best of both.
That is what happens in this book. The author is inspired by the image, and from it, poetry flows to dance and enhance the whole upon the page. Images from the eye of a photographer that translate to the mind of the poet. The wonder here is that both are the same. The photographer is the poet.
Here is an excerpt from poem #1, Chipmunk, which goes with the picture on the cover.
Those chubby cheeks that hold the seed,
A fuzzy face soon raids the stash.
He pilfers grain the birdies need,
This little guy’s manners, so brash.$17.99–$29.99
