Precious Were The Hours: Poems and Other Ruminations from an Old Baby Boomer

If poetry is not your thing, this book will change your mind. C. S. Lewis wrote, We ought not write about our actions but about our thoughts. We busy ourselves talking about the weather and the little trivial happenings of each day, while the thoughts of our hearts, the really great experiences of ourselves, are seldom mentioned.Approaching the end of a long and fulfilling life, an aging Baby Boomer publishes his first book - a collection of poems originally written for his grandchildren and never intended to be made public. Writing in verse, the author reminisces about the joys of family, friends, nature, and living a simple but rewarding life. Opening with a nostalgic reverence for our ancestral beginnings and hope for future generations, A Grandparent's Message sets the stage for a wide-ranging series of poems covering the hopeful sunrises of youth to the blissful sunsets of old age. Readers of all ages will enjoy Precious Were The Hours.
