My name is Bob Lawrence and I am a retired minister. Most of this poetry concerns religious, social, political, moral issues and I have tried to capture what I believe is the grassroots consensus about these issues. I am sure that some will disagree with my ultra conservative viewpoint but we can at least respect each others opinions and learn from one another. Several of the poems were written just for fun. This is my fi rst attempt at anything like this so please be kind but truthful. Bob Lawrence
