      Kaleidoscope for Kids - Phyllis K.

      Dedication

      TO MY CHILDREN

      missing image file

      Peter Brad    Eric   Kristin (Bunny)   Craig

      I dedicate this book of poems to my four children who are wonderful, fun-loving and ever so dear. They have been my life, though I know …

      "…that it is He that hath made us

      and not we ourselves."

      Psalm 100

      Acknowledgments

      Special thanks go to my children for their inspiration for many of these poems. My heart-felt thanks I give to my sister, Janet, who volunteered assistance in preparing the manuscript for submission. Thanks also to Craig Massey whose creative illustrations have enhanced the poetry. Appreciation is offered to Becca Bass and Sarah Goddard of Authorhouse for both valuable and necessary advice and guidance in bringing the project to completion. Thanks to all family and friends who encouraged me to fulfill a long-time desire to write and get into print this book and its companion volume, Kaleidoscope for Gerries, (and for their sons and daughters too), as well as other written works.
