This book was a chance to take a walk through the recesses of my mind. To rearrange the furniture. I wanted to take stock in the things I believe in. I grew up in a little town from the Midwest. A cross-roads of sorts. There I honed the personality that has followed me through my life.. To those who have been my friend I say “thank you.” This book was an attempt to write down some of the thoughts, hopes and dreams that I have for the future. It was my fervent desire to leave this to my children and then their children. In hopes that by knowing from where they came, they would appreciate the sacrifices that will lead to their existence. Life’s Purpose Each day I wonder why I’m here is it to fill what love requires Or is there much more to my life than all the joys my heart desires   I have been the emissary of ancestors who came and went My purpose lay within the genes that through life and death they have sent   As thousands struggled lived and died they entrusted within my soul Hopes and dreams of generations to lead family in life’s goal  My duty in this life is clear pass love from the child within me Along with prayers from those that died for all the hopes of things to be   While I tie my child to the past going back to antiquity He takes me into the future granting us immortality Tate
