I want to wake in the morning with you again Hugh Oddie

Hugh Oddie has lived a rich and multifaceted life, including being a teacher, banker, father, cook, coach, and a journeyman to new frontiers. Some of these experiences are captured within this book. (Although, do not take any as being strictly autobiographical). This book is a collection of some of my poems written across the years from teenage to adulthood. They stand for my belief that poetry is an essential ingredient of the human spirit. If they in the slightest way enable you to reflect a little about who you are in this world; then by just doing that, they have achieved a purpose. If you enjoy them too, so much the better! They are meant to be heard first and only then read. Possibly the format of hand written and text versions captures that intent.
