A Heap o' Livin'

by Edgar A. Guest

Book Overview

When you get to know a fellow, know his joys and know his cares, When you've come to understand him and the burdens that he bears, When you've learned the fight he's making and the troubles in his way, Then you find that he is different than you thought him yesterday. You find his faults are trivial and there's not so much to blame In the brother that you jeered at when you only knew his name.

Remembering Childhood

My Grandmother used to read these poems to me at bedtime and it was a delight to her her read these wonderful words to me. She read from her own edition from her childhood so now I can see part of what shaped her love of poetry.Edgar A. Guest has a way with words which speak of those things we call American. It is "comfort reading" well worth exploring in these present times.

Will be very glad when I find the reading I'm looking for...

I am looking for a writing by Edgar Guest, "The Sermons That We See". Has anyone seen it? Please contact me at bbout@powercom.net.

A ENJOYABLE BOOK WITH MEANINGFUL POEMS.

Mr. Guest is my favorite poet of all times. His poems are great. My favorite poem is "Defeat." If you want one of a kind poems I would get this book.
