Love is Poetry, My Dreams and a Tribute to My Dad Charles Hooks Reprint edition

I DO SOLEMNLY SWEAR . . . . . That was my oath to my god and country in August 1963. I was an infantryman and a paratrooper for the U. S. Army. I fought for my country in Vietnam. After my discharge I was a self contractor and had a son and daughter. To this day that has been my life. Literally no legacy to be remembered by maybe my great or great great grandchildren. Now I need something so if someone asked them who I was, they could prove I was a real person and maybe I'd be noted for something special. I dream constantly and write poetry and would like to publish a memoir. It has to start now at the age of sixty nine as my life has consisted of nothing special to this point. I would like to continue writing and publishing more poetry and a novel. My heart has stopped five times and now I am obsessed in having a legacy to put me in a category where I may be extra special for something. Maybe in thirty or forty years someone may say "OH Yes, I Do Remember Him" He . . . . . ?
