A collection of poems inspired by the life experiences of the author. D.F. Gregory started writing poetry and short stories as a pastime in his early forties, and more so during the period that he was a family carer to his late mother who was suffering from Alzheimer’s and cancer, which was at a moment in his life when he found more time to reflect and indulge in his interest of writing. He eventually decided to turn what had started as a pastime into something that he could publish to share with a larger audience. Some of the poems are inspired by emotion, his experience as a carer, and others are inspired by his love of history and human nature.  His literary work continues.
