Publisher's Synopsis
At first glance, Joe Dale just appeared to be a kindly man, usually with a welcoming grin to everyone he met. The main objective in his life seemed to cheer people up, spread kindness and joy, and to be generous, often to a fault, to other needy people. He was a humble soul, never acquired much in terms of material wealth, having dealt with learning disabilities and schizophrenia, but was always willing to listen and empathize with anyone he met.
At the age of 76, Joe passed away, having left a collection of his poetry among his personal effects. All three of his siblings had already acquired various copies over the years when he was still living. But, it wasn't until after he passed away that we discovered his 'stash' of hand-written poetry. It was like a treasure trove of beautiful, heartfelt, and inspiring writings--filled with depth and insight, and reflections on love--unlike any other poets we've ever known. It's for this reason, we came together and decided to publish his amazing, original poems so his beautiful spirit may live on and touch the hearts of people all over the world.
