Philip J. Tate's musings, with a touch of poetic license, capture life's experiences, impressions, and dreams.

A kite-flying poem recalls the joy of three 600-foot rolls of string stretching into the sky. Cast-off Valor tells of a sixth-grade friend discovering a bayonet in the woods of Kings Mountain Memorial Park. A young suitor scraping together change for a locket honors small-town jewelers who helped young love blossom. The thrill of hunting and sport fishing comes alive, especially in the moment a Wahoo bursts from the water like a rocket.

A daydream about motorcycling to Memphis speaks to adventure, while the mystery of a cat riding shotgun against the moon evokes the allure of the open road.

These heartfelt verses invite you into memories of a life well-lived and deeply loved-reflections of joy, friendship, and the timeless beauty of simple moments.
