Thinkin' Thoughts: Country Contemplations Foster Whitman

My father is a good man;
He works all through the year.
He arises at the break of day
So full of hope and cheer.
My mother is an angel;
She toils from morn till night.
And I am just an old plowboy,
And my clothes don?t fit me right.

The above excerpt from Country Boy illustrates the love and humor with which Foster Whitman writes Thinkin? Thoughts: Country Contemplations. Most of the prose and poetry in this collection is concerned with rural life, Mother Nature, and the perplexities inherent in human life. But none of these ?thinkin? thoughts? is without spiritual nature, a sacred awareness and appreciation for God?s presence in our lives today. A collection of many moods and meanings, Thinkin? Thoughts: Country Contemplations is a delightful companion for one?s quiet times and it should be welcomed as a worthy addition to anyone?s library shelf.
