No Cross No Crown

“No Cross, No Crown” is a collection of poems with spiritual connotations, mixed with a little lively humor and true-to-life lessons. When faced with an adverse report from a doctor or some other tragedy in life; “Where did God go?” and “No Cross, No Crown” would offer a great source of comfort. On the lighter side of things, when there are social functions or family gatherings, if there’s room for a joke or two, “The Raid,” “Swim on By,” “All Ma Cloth,” and a few others would put a smile on the grumpiest face. These poems were written mostly by inspiration, some by demand, and others were adapted from stories told about life on the family islands, for example, “Sam Major’s Wife,” “The Wake,” and “Belle, Island Gal.” I hope that this book would bring you joy, laughter and inspiration to help you through trying times as well as remind you of some memorable event(s) in your life. …So, sit under a coconut palm, relax, and grab a nice chilled glass of lemonade as you browse through this book. Enjoy! Enjoy! Enjoy!
