    About this ebook

    "Youthful Gray: The Poetry of Ray Rivera," is a mostly cheerful collection of short poems that reflect the author's triumphs over adversity. Beginning with youthful recollections - when simply looking on the bright side of things took tremendous courage - and moving seamlessly throughout the challenging stages of life, this modest selection of verse is ultimately meant to be inspiring, uplifting and heartening.
