A Message from the Author

A man in his 80’s once said I finally found

out what one of the most important treasures in life

is…People! he exclaimed.From now on I am

going to be a people person A few days later he

died.


Sadly all too often we go through life too busy

to stop and notice people or even to consider

our own lives and what meaning it has.


The Essence of Life Poems by Warren

E. Holyfield, seeks to pause life, if for but a

moment,and to make us think!


It is more than a book of rhymes, for within

its pages are priceless treasures that will touch the

very core of your heart. It wrenches the very fiber

of your being. It will be your enemy as well as your

friend.The more you read and think, you will leave

your conscious state of mind and be taken on a

journey of another kind. It will rekindle thoughts

and emotions dear to you, once lost but now

found. Welcome home!
