Book excerpt: Today I dreamed...and it somehow seemed An endless dream filled with thoughts of you. When working the midnight shift for the Baltimore City Police Department in the early seventies, Lawerence Mize began to fill his nights writing letters and poems to his wife, Sandy. In 2009, Lawerence was diagnosed with coronary artery disease. As Lawerence contemplated his life, his thoughts drifted back to those lonely nights patrolling the streets of Baltimore and the words he wrote for his wife. Now Lawerence has taken his writings from loose pieces of paper and old notebooks and letters and collected them in Thoughts of You: Poems on Life, Love, and Family. Newer poems written after Lawerence's diagnosis round out the collection, revealing a bittersweet, mature perspective on a life spent with a loving wife and family. A touching tribute to his wife and a powerful meditation on health, love, family, life, and death, Thoughts of You captures a magical moment in one man's life: the beginning of a love that would last a lifetime.
