I would like to acknowledge my family and friends who collectively have read every poem I’ve written, provided feedback and encouragement that has validated me and my love for writing.
I express my most sincere appreciation for my very best friend who for years has provided me with encouragement no matter what my endeavor. I acknowledge his relentless determination to bring this book to fruition and his editorial support.
A special thanks to my sister Valencia and others who provided a keen eye to editorial details every single time I asked (smile).
I would also like to gratefully acknowledge Kent B. Krugh for his donation of all the photographs of roses used in this publication. Although they have been edited for use, their immeasurable beauty is still evident. This book would not be complete without the visual presentation of God’s handiwork as seen in each rose.
All Scriptural notations are taken from the Holy Bible.
For use or reproduction of the photographs in this publication or just to enjoy the beauty of roses please contact Kent B. Krugh and visit A Woodland Rose Garden at woodlandrosegarden.com.
