Actually first of all I thanx the author for such a beautiful book and now let's talk about content the most best thing was that in this we know the value of someone which we don't care but after they leave we realise how much important they are for us this shows the real image of life :)

I really like to read your review. My connection server was now at China and can't able to read the sample. But your review give me guidelines about what's inside. I didn't like lifetime poem like this.

Today's BOTD is a collection of 43 poems, personal to the author's life, written over the course of many years. Each poem focuses on the author's love of family, faith, and country and includes a range of topics from parenthood to the pandemic. Sounds like a thought-provoking read that will leave readers wondering about what matters most in their own lives. Thank you so much! Your review was wonderful! :-)

Latest Review: The Artificial Intelligence Rights and Responsibilities Act” by Alton Booth

Post by Jorge Leon Salazar »

A work that inspires, informs, entertains, and enlightens about what really matters most in life is definitely worth trying. It also addresses issues such as love, fatherhood, motherhood, the country, among others. Even a topic as current as the coronavirus pandemic is explored. Poems are not my cup of tea, but this book seems very special.

As a person grows older they think more of the past. This author has done an excellent job of retaining past events in his life that were important to him. His family will enjoy reading these poems about their family, country, and other life events for many years. Thank you for your review.

It sounds like a great collection of poems that evoke many different emotions. I like that the author can make readers laugh with some light-hearted poems, as well as heavy-hitting ones. The cover is also very eye-catching, and I look forward to reading the book. Thanks for the lovely review.

This sounds like a good book to keep around to pick up occasionally to remind oneself about some of the little things. Life is so hurried we don't often stop to appreciate!

Being a hopeless romantic myself, I find people with simple minds and honest words very precious. The book must be really moving for the reviewer to have written such an ingenious comment on it. The summary, description and recommendation are very kind and direct. At the same time, his words give people a gentle tug to go ahead, pick up the book and relish it. Thank you for your promising review that made me read a sample of the book on amazon. I shall surely read it as soon as possible.

An inspiring, entertaining, and enlightening set of forty-three enthralling poems in the book "Poems About Things That Mattered Most" by Bob Dowell. These poems cover the celebration of the struggles and joys of parenthood,and the greatness of America. The book appears worth reading.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

Post by María Andrea Fernández Sepúlveda »

The poems made me smile, laugh, reminisce, and cogitate. I could not keep myself from chuckling when I read how Stan and Dwight, the author’s sons, were playing a ‘dangerous game with the fridge’. Dwight could not get his brother out, as he was too short to reach the door handle. Initially, his father did not understand the situation when he was informed Stan was inside the fridge. As a result, he instructed Dwight to tell his brother to get out before it finally dawned on him that Stan needed help. Other poems led me on a path of self-examination, while others still taught me to appreciate the seemingly minute things in life.
That's really funny. Kids are a blessing and a joy.
What I liked most was the thought-provocative nature of the poems. They made me think about things I value the most in my life. The poems were simple and impressive. Simple as they communicated ordinary subjects in a straightforward manner and impressive as the author employed many literary devices and thus making every poem exceptional.
I appreciate reading how this book made you feel. It enriches your review very much, and I think that if a book stays with you, is usually worth reading. Thank you!
