Publisher's Synopsis
Keat Wade is a humble, prolific poet, amazing me in his wordsmith abilities. Often there is a holy hush after he reads his new poem aloud. The words sink in deeply, melting our hearts. I have watched not merely the poems come from the poet. I have watched the life of the poet. Keat's life speaks volumes, even if he had never penned a poem! James L. Garlow, Lead pastor Skyline Wesleyan Church San Diego, CA Expect to be carried on a journey. Poem by poem you will be drawn into the next, immersed in the spirit of each one.
