Teddy Bard is very much like us. He has faced loss and grief, victory and defeat. He has struggled and fallen many times, - only to drag himself back onto his feet and carry on. Somehow, by surviving for over sixty years, Teddy has accumulated a fund of wit and wisdom which he wishes to share with the world. There will be laughter and tears, - smiles and chills, and possibly, a new way of seeing the world which may free us from past suffering. I guarantee that you will find this collection of stories in verse to be both entertaining and insightful.

'Winds of Change' is a poet's view of the fringes of society. Tramps and beggars vie with the privileged and powerful to entice us into sharing their experiences. In stories spanning the past, present, and future, almost mythical characters leap from the pages to remind us of those brief moments when the world seemed to have more purpose and possibilities than we normally imagine.

Not everybody believes in the little people. We have been blinded by this busy and distracting modern world. Music blares out from passing cars and unwatched televisions fill our heads with inane chat and unwanted advertisements. But, people adapt. They shut out the noises and filter their senses. to find a modicum of peace.I grew up on tales of the little people and I watched them dance in the embers. Then, like most people, I forgot that they were around. In my hurry to grow up, I left behind most of those things which make childhood magical. My creativity became a slave to commerce and I became a cog in the uncaring wheels of industry.There were reprieves of course. When I read to my own children, - I rediscovered, for a little while, the wonder and the magic of childhood.This is the gift which I wish to offer to you.

This book will bring tears. It will bring healing and it will, over time, help you to find peace and acceptance. If you are struggling with depression, grief or loss, you will find comfort and inspiration in these pages. I too was frozen with grief, pain and depression. I was waiting to die until something beyond my understanding stepped in and I began to write. Each word brought me closer to healing. I have waited almost ten years to assemble this book from my writings, - if indeed they are truly mine. I was told to share my work on social media. I know that they have helped many people and I have included a sample of the most recent comments at the beginning.
