I do not usually read poems, but when I read the sample I was hooked.
The writing style is similar to the novels that are written in verse, and I loved those books.
The author wrote in a very sentimental expression and it makes me feel nostalgic.
Congratulations on the BOTD, and thank you for the review.
You wrote a thorough summary of the author's experiences.

I feel like this book has a lot to offer. Starting from an emotional rollercoaster to thought-provoking poems. I can't wait to read it. The different issues addressed also on the poem like love among others just makes me even more eager to read it.

It looks like the author of this book poured his soul and heart to recognize the greatest values of life. I need this in my life. I'm losing my mind and the value of things and I need a refresher. Thanks for this.

It sounds like a refreshing collection of life stories written in poetic expressions. Being alive to see one's great-grandchildren in good health is certainly a priceless gift from Jehovah. Thanks for the review.

Poems About Things That Mattered Most: Faith, Family, Country by Bob Dowell was published in 2020. The sensational book is approximately 137 pages long and comprises forty-three enthralling poems. The poems undoubtedly inspire, inform, entertain, and above all enlighten the reader about what truly matters most in life. They span many years from when the author met his future wife to the present where he enjoys spending time with his great-grandchildren. The author’s profound love for God, family, and country stood out in every poem.

The poetic compositions address diverse issues, like love, celebrating the struggles and joys of parenthood, appreciating mothers, the greatness of America, faith, and even the ravaging Coronavirus Pandemic. The author references the significant contributions of the Puritans as part of the founding fathers of America while abundantly demonstrating this unwavering belief in God in his own life. This was quite evident when Bob closed the concluding poem with a line appreciating the God-given longevity to enjoy these unique blessings. Consequently, his faith in God formed a sturdy foundation upon which everything else was built.

A book of meaningful poems 137 pages long with 43 enthralling poems. The poems inspire, inform, entertain and enlighten the reader about what truly matters most in life. I would like to read the entire book. Excellent official review.
