Heartbeats: Poetry and Muse over Decades (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781665729284)

You placed the seeds of your love deep within me, and strong roots grew to completely wrap around my lonely soul ... You are the dazzling stars in my heaven, sweetheart, and the scenic river that nourishes a once-parched land that was the essence of my life. Floyd Myers and his wife, Margaret, have been blessed with a happy marriage that has flourished through six decades filled with ups and downs, challenges, and obstacles. Yet throughout all that life has placed in their way, they have not only continued their love for each other, but also nurtured it in a way that it continues to grow to this day. In a debut collection of poems, Myers chronologically shares verse that begins with their marriage in 1960 and continues through the following decades as they maintained a state of mutual adoration, built a family, and found hope and humor even in their darkest moments. As he lyrically reflects on their life experiences and emotions, Myers reminds others that love is a generous and healing gift from God that can never be purchased or pretended and will only be fully alive when permanently given away with a commitment to each other. Heartbeats is a volume of poetry that explores sixty-plus years of life experiences, faith, and unconditional love.
