Just Some Memories

Book excerpt: What is it that others say? You are old, and you are blessed. Your life has been long, at least in years. But as I grow old, I see life as things I missed and need yet to do. It is not as long as once I thought. What does one think about when he retires and looks back on life? In a thoughtful compilation of poems and remembrances, Hilton Mollenhauer poetically explores his life, thoughts, and many memories. His diverse verse includes reflections on God, death, the gifts of nature, the pains of age, and the gentle words of a sophist. Included are short notes and introspective perspectives on life overall as well as the potential challenges we all may face at one time or another in today’s world. Just Some Memories is a collection of poetry and other writings that record one man’s life and thoughts as he reflects on his diverse experiences.
