    About this ebook

    There are many books of poetry, but 66 LEAVES, Poems From My Tree of Life, is destined to become one of your favorites. Author, Adrianne Carlino Gentile, shares the many branches of her personal growth as a daughter, mother, lover, and spiritual wise woman. Her verse is insightful without being complicated.

    This collection of poems encompasses such shared human sentiments as the ecstasy of a lover's thoughts in "Moments to Share", the comfort in tribute to the loss of a parent in "Daddy's Hands", and humor in the retort to a controversial song written about short people in "Shortness Is In, Tallness Is Out". The simple spiritual answer to World Peace in "Why Won't We Listen" is thought provoking.

    Read 66 LEAVES and relive the unfolding of your own tree of life.

      I’m going to be 90 this year and, looking back, I was always happiest when I’d fallen in love. Falling in love is a very expressive thing. And I’ve done it once or twice. Of course, the high point of all this carry-on was in the 1950s and 60s, when I

      For years my mother warned me. “Before you know it,” she’d say, “they’ll be off and away.” But I never believed her. How could I? My kids were in the middle of everything, of the everything that was my life. For twenty years it felt natural to drop e
