Ozzie Lamont Anderson Jr., A poetic sailor, yet wise with words that touches ones heart by speaking freely to the souls through his poems. Never had a better way of expressing himself, besides watching his emotions bleed through ink while voicing his story. Presenting to you, his life, his poems, “A Missing Rose.” This book is a dedication to my deceased mother, Sanders Elizabeth Anderson. Even though she’s gone, my heart is still grieving. I haven’t seen LAUGH in a while, because SADNESS didn’t leave yet. My MOOD SWINGS arguing with both, trying to reason. In the meantime, my GROWING PAINS cruising through this ink of EMOTIONS, still bleeding. -Ozzie L. Anderson Jr.
