I was blessed with two wonderful grandfathers who were both incredibly talented in their own unique ways. One thing they shared was that they were both poets and each had collections of poetry. I began writing poetry when I was about 13 years old, and began dictating stories from the time I was about 3 years old. It’s in my blood. I inherited this gift from my maternal grandfather, Raymond Maddox Seckinger, and my paternal grandfather, Lt. Col. Wallace H. Pedé. On his deathbed, I promised my Granddaddy Seckinger that I would publish his collection of poetry one day. I asked my Granddad Pedé to leave me his collection of poetry in his will. I have a collection of poetry that dates back to my late teens and early 20s. Throughout my life, I have continued to write poetry when I am deeply moved or inspired. Writing is my therapy, and poetry is the most creative way I express my emotions.
I’m now 58 years old, and I know tomorrow isn’t promised. I’m making good on the promise I made to Granddaddy Seckinger back in December of 1998, and offering a tribute to both of my remarkable grandfathers. This book is a compilation of poetry through the generations, from both of my grandfathers and myself.
