{"product_id":"9781503516649","title":"Eye of My Mind II","description":"I hope you enjoy my poems. They are made up of fun, serious, religious and tragic experiences and thoughts I have experienced through my lifetime. I basically am publishing my former book and this one for my children and grandchildren and their wonderful spouses, so they can get a picture of how their mother and grandmother of 88 years thinks and feels. I am proud of them and my husband, the Rev. Louis F. Rush of The Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod, would be of them, also. He died a few months before our 50th wedding anniversary. My faith means a lot to me and I try to live up to my wedding motto: “Only one life, ‘twill soon be past, only what’s done for Christ will last.”  So I hope that you will get a chuckle and some thoughtful moments from reading and thinking of the history in your past. Write a journal or poetry for your loved ones to help them connect to your past history, for if history is forgotten we tend to repeat it.  I started writing poetry in high school but never shared it until now. I never realized and am amazed at how much history I lived through and how much it affected the world in which we live. It is due to my husband that I started writing and collecting my poetry because he gave me a book with empty pages in which to write and keep my poems.","brand":"Xlibris US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47177247293680,"sku":"9781503516649","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781503516649_p0.jpg?v=1763708784","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781503516649","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
