You will enjoy this book of poems, each written by Mr. Lohman, to provide good feelings on an event you have recognized or will recognize at some point in your life. The poems include messages about nature, family, reflections on life, sports and even politics. Mr. Lohman, being a Christian, often included the potential involvement of God in these events. The last small group of poems describes the thoughts an 89 year old might have about approaching the hereafter. This, he speaks from personal experience. Many of the poems are structured in the pleasing sonnet format and its enjoyable rhythm. A second characteristic of Mr. Lohman's writing was the use of rhyming when appropriate. This rhyming rhythm, enhanced by selected comma use, made writing poetry mentally challenging, but always left a good feeling about the message. The poems included here were all produced in the last 24 months of Mr. Lohman's life, following his family's recovery from a major disaster; Hurricane Harvey, in August, 2017, destroyed the entire interior of their home. However, these poems represent, not two years, but a lifetime of experiences, thoughts and observations he has encountered during his 89 years. Clearly, in many instances, his thoughts included messages led by God, to whom he gives all the credit for this book of poems.
