Poems of Love and Laughter

The best poetry is honest, freshly expressed, and addresses the experiences all humans share. Between these covers you'll find humor, whimsy, passionate love, anger, and the terrible, lingering loss of two much loved wives to Alzheimer's Disease.

Gerald Spindel's life has stretched over, or more accurately, embraced, 90 years. In that near century he has been a soldier, a script writer, a salesman, a double college dropout, the owner of a hardware store, and a synagogue president. More importantly, he has been a father, a husband, and a grandfather. From the age of eight, he has taken notes on his life. This book is a collection of his poetry, mostly written from the wise perspective of his later years.
