Poems to Ponder

By Hilton Anderson

This is a book of poetry. Essentially, the major idea of the book is that we, humans, are all one. We haven’t really understood that, and as a result, it leaves room for having war. We should understand each other’s differences. All of us are a product of the Divine.

Hilton Anderson

The author is a ninety-one year old former school psychologist who has been retired for 30 years. He is the author of nine previous books all dealing with his attempt to understand the nature of human existence. Who are we? What is the meaning of our existence here on Earth? What happens when we die? Is death the end or new beginning? He was married for fifty-five years before his wife's death in 2017. He is the father of three children and is the grandfather of five grandchildren, and about to become a great grandfather. His life, in this existence, has been a wonderful experience. He has learned a lot, but there still is so much to learn. Will it ever end?
