A Legacy in Poems Bridging the Gap Claude L. Dallas Jr.

Claude has written inspirational, reflective and humorous poems and prose to his family and friends for nearly forty years. He began writing the day that his life was transformed by Jesus Christ in Los Angeles. The joy of having a relationship with the Creator of the Universe filled Claude with joy. He sees himself as a bridge between the past generations of those who prayed for him and others, and sacrificed selflessly so that accomplishment just now is revealed could come to pass. It is his prayer that others, particularly men, can be inspired to express and record their thoughts and inner most feelings in written form. He is a father who stands in the gap as a bridge for his grandchildren and those who our society defines and marginal, oppressed and not reachable. The non-traditional students in his classrooms are given personal attention and encouragement. May the poems in this book let the readers understand the nature and character of the author as he reflects the love of God.
