About this ebook
I started this journey while still in high school in 1974, and I keep hope alive some thirty years later. Hopethe ingredient that brings dreams alive. So to all dreamers: keep hope alive. I tried to reach out to everyone: if you were in love or just fell out of love, if for some reason or another faith dealt you a bad card, the loss of a loved one, or maybe the birth of a newborn. Maybe its your anniversary or your birthday. Maybe destruction hit your town (9/11).Or maybe you just like relaxing and reading a good book of poetry. Whatever the case may be, my book will cover it all. For the young and the old, theres love and laughter to enjoy.
Brad Breashears
As a kid fresh out of high school, Brad Breashears joined the Navy, where he encountered many new faces and places. Brad spent his time overseas, and through it all this book reflects on the good and bad times that he has seen. As a fifty-five-year-old man, Brad wants to send a message to the young and old: it’s never too late to capture whatever dreams you desire—just keep reaching for that star.
