This version contains the previous version set of poems, in addition to two new poems, titled, "Our President" and, "Some People's Ways". The book is dedicated to all of his children Helen, Anna, Madeline, Henrietta, Clara, Sarah, Mary, Kelly, and Tommie. This book is dedicated to the legacy that Mr. Henry Allen Laine left, and his belief in God, his support of family, and his passion for truth. He was an inspiration to all that knew him, and created a desire in his children, and all he met, to do their best. Mr. Laine led by example, and his book Foot Prints, chronicles segments of his life, and those that he admired. One can catch a glimpse of Mr. Laine reading the poems, and reflecting on how much of what he wrote about many years ago, is as revelant to day as it was then. Enjoy.
