And that calling came in a most unusual way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoger had an experience in July of 2015 that changed his life forever. He struggled for more than a year trying to find a reasonable explanation for what happened to him and he could find none. He had been told that if something is bugging you, write it down, wad it up and throw it away. He had a word page open on the computer and he intended to spell out what was bugging him and delete it. Instead he had written the first poem ever in his life. The result was the first poem in this book, the hauntingly beautiful \u003cem\u003eMy Kindred Spirit\u003c\/em\u003e about an old man who recognizes his lost love from another life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince that evening, poetry flowed from his mind and heart. The deeply touching \u003cem\u003eMom, the Lake, and the Lily Pads \u003c\/em\u003eevokes happy early childhood memories of spending time with his mother on a lake in a row boat. \u003cem\u003eMy Grandpa and Me\u003c\/em\u003e memorializes the moment he learned the value of honesty, a lesson that was to stay with him the rest of his life. Then there's \u003cem\u003eDo Over\u003c\/em\u003e that captures the precious and unrepeatable value of a human life. All the poems in \u003cem\u003eRenaissance\u003c\/em\u003e--a title he gave the book since writing poetry is a new beginning for him at age eighty-eight--transport us into intimate scenes from a long life well-lived.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis book \u003cem\u003eRenaissance\u003c\/em\u003e, a collection of some thirty of his poems, is an inspiring testament to life's possibilities waiting to be discovered no matter what your age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roger Bolan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Roger Bollan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/21\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 68\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.25d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780999652909\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBolan, Roger:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Roger believes writing poetry has changed him as a person.
