About this title

Synopsis

In Across the Generations, Carol Chandler Russ compiles inspirational poetry and writings by her grandmother Louise Hayes Williams, who was born in rural Georgia in 1902, and by her great-grandfather Osgood Gaston Hayes, who was born in Georgia in 1875. Bathed in faith in God, love of family and friends, and appreciation for America, these poems and writings will inspire readers to embrace life with a positive, contented attitude no matter the circumstances they face. Readers will discover that the wisdom of generations past is applicable today. The poem “CONTENT” illustrates that well. CONTENT I made a search for happiness – a state that isn’t found The void that came with searching Kept my spirit bound. I closed my eyes to envision By the best of my heart instead, And then I made a discovery Content, by the heart, is bred. Happiness is all about me, I can look around me and see, I had its prison in my heart – But now I’ve set it free. Ruth Louise Hayes Williams
