Entreat Me Not To Leave Thee

I Believe

This Dark Shadow

I Took My Life

Tomorrow Waits For No One

Soul of Wisdom, God Given Grace

This page is dedicated to my brother, Michael Louis Grodell,
Born November 27, 1954, died September 1, 1996.

The following poetry is part of a book Michael was putting together before he died. The introduction to this book makes reference to a previous book, though we have found no record of it. If anyone has any information regarding a book of poetry by Michael Adam Douglass ( Michael's pen name) please let us know via email.

We are in the process of publishing the entire volume and will make copies available for purchase. We can only afford to print 200 copies at this time and the book will be "wire" bound. If there is enough interest in the book we will print more and "perfect bind" the second printing with a soft cover. The cost of these first editions will be $16.00 plus sales tax and shipping, this includes a $10.00 donation in Michaels name to Aids Project L.A. or similar organization. If a second printing is possible with the better binding we will make these available to anyone who has purchased the first edition at a special price (or possibly at no cost). The book is titled Soul of Wisdom, God Given Grace and contains forty-two of Michaels works including the selections in the menu to the left.

My brother Michael was very religous and many of his poems deal with his faith in God and his belief in the promise of eternal life. We hope that the book will not only help to raise money to help others but also to inspire all who read it spiritually. If you are interested in the book or have any comments please send email to webby@web9000.com
