Capsules in Time II

poems are verbal snapshots of life for the heart and mind, time capsules preserved. i offer this as an album of some snapshots.

Lee battles loves to write. He was born and raised in the mountains of NW Georgia and NE Alabama. He loves the mountains, the seas, and the skies above. He has run the ridges barefoot, waded the creeks, plowed and worked the fields. He has worked in factories, served in the Army, worked in offices, and tent camped across this beautiful country from coast to coast and north to south. He is a son, a dad, and a paw paw. He has been very blessed with memories of them. Some of these memories he shares here, both good and bad, in the hope that anyone who reads them might pause a moment and think 'I've been there, I've done that, I've felt that'. He hopes to kindle a smile, a reflective thought, a tear feathered with hope, but never remorse. All things happen for a reason, however painful or pleasing at the time, and we are all separate volumes of a grand anthology, which is God's ongoing work in progress. God blessed Battles with the time and opportunity to share. Poems are verbal snapshots for the mind and heart, time capsules preserved. All his life he's heard people say, "I could write a book about that." He's said it himself. These poems are snapshots of times, places, events, and thoughts as they happened. All of us have unique lives entwining in a very special place we call life. He shares some of these interactions.
