    About this ebook

    s I take my pen in hand


    I know, it is Jehovah that is giving


    Yes, He gives every word I write


    Every breath that keeps me living



    So I wish to impart, to each of you


    Who are now these words reading


    Love for each other will cleanse your soul


    When Jehovah's words you are believing



    Most of you, who read this book


    I never will be seeing


    The message here, comes from my heart


    Please be patient, kind, and giving



    I pray love toward Jehovah God


    Rise from souls that are now grieving


    Then we can approach, with thankful hearts


    Jehovah's blessings, we shall be receiving

    David L. Harris

    I was born in April, 1936 at home, in Nogales, Arizona. Nogales, Arizona is shared with Nogales, Mexico. We used to say "going across the line." When I started school at age 6, it was in a small border village called Lochiel about 25 or 30 miles East of Nogales. I went to a little one room, one teacher, 8 grades school. About halfway through 2nd grade we moved back to Nogales. I moved from Nogales to the little community at McGee Ranch (where I reside currently). When I started 4th grade. This also was a single room, one teacher, eight grade school. We had a lot of trouble keeping a school teachers until I reached the 6th grade. Finally, the county school superintendent in Tucson sent a teacher, who herself was a rancher and she was my teacher through grade 8. It was through this great woman's teaching that I learned to enjoy poetry. She taught us so many things that I have been thankful for all my life. I learned and recited many American, and some English poems (Sir Walter Scott, Alfred Lord Tennyson, Longfellow, James Whitcomb Riley, etc) I didn't start writing poetry until the 1980's except for some personal greeting cards, like family weddings, birthdays, anniversary's and some odes I read at peoples funeral services.

      I love standing on a bridge, staring into the fast-moving waters of a river, on their way to the sea from their source in distant hills. The length of a river is like the span of a human life. Some lives are long, but others, sadly, can be much short
