The words we speak ride the breath of life, and upon death, fall to nothing. Words that are written, however, are as the rain upon the earth, the sun in the sky; always available to offer despair and hope, and promise of Love at the end of our days; thus we see the philosophy of the author, Thomas Watson, age 62. From a lonely childhood of unsteady times, until joining the Air Force during the Viet Nam tragedy, he had written words of shadow beginning at the age of 12 yrs old. After joining the military he discovered a new life and a new love in Miyoko; the woman who was to be his wife until her death, 29 years later. Shortly after that he found the awesome love of Jesus Christ, and his writing began to move from shadows of black and grey into a new light, thus his first book of poetry, "Between Shadow and Light", available  at Amazon.com.  Thomas Watson also has had his writings appear in books presented by Poetrypages.com, Jera Web Creations, titled "A Collection of Voices From Around the World, Volume II", "A Collection of Voices from Around the World Volume III";  "Poetry From the Dark Side",  "Within Three Lines""Lost and Found"  A collections of Haiku, Senryu, and other short forms of verse written by members of the Poetry Pages.com.

Introduces you to my personal books and to my life, and the blessings He has bestowed upon it. It is still undergoing redesign.

In the near future I hope to bring together all of my poetry of love for my departed wife and those given through my Lord's grace into a new book of Love's Grace.
