David Thompson 
Poetic Reflections 

This book of poems is a product of emotions, empathic emotions, and perceptions that were experienced over a period of years. The poems may well express thoughts and feelings that others may have.

The poems attempt to address the unanswered mysteries of life. In my case, life must go on and life should be one of hope even in the midst of despair. The following pages attempt to include the concept of hope.
