Sincere Reflections: A Compilation of Prose and Poetry

By Bill Burgoyne

This book contains several poems that were written during a period that extends approximately from the year 1979 through the year 2012. The vast majority of these poems were written during free time while working for the former Digital Equipment Corporation, which was headquartered in Maynard, Massachusetts.
The subject matter incorporates personal experiences of the author and is primarily intended to be spiritually inspirational from a Christian perspective. Many of the poems contain references to birds, animals, and other topics found in nature.
One of the poems in this book is entitled Freedom! I sincerely hope that after having read it that you would also enjoy this excerpt from an article that I have published in the Gardner News located in here in Gardner, Massachusetts.
