Timeless Tales by  John Alexander Get it  here BOOK SUMMARY This debut book of poetry by John Alexander offers inspiration. As these lilting verses roll off your tongue, let the words soothe your weary soul. Written especially for you and your inner child, the poems reach into your soul to that child within you.
