Reaching Back, Looking Forward

Full of whimsical memories, life's challenges, and uplifting encouragements, Reaching Back, Looking Forward is a collection of poems that reflects on one man's journey through life and his hope for his future. Ron Hershberger brings philosophical thoughts and beautiful language to the page as he offers insights into readers' childhoods through his own, peeling back the complexities of life to reveal who he is-who we are as humans-on the inside.

The poems in Reaching Back, Looking Forward are arranged into four categories: Encouragement and Faith, Memories, Challenging Times, and Tributes. Each is different yet similar, and each holds kernels of truth for all of our lives. So, find a quiet place. Sit back, relax, and join one man's quest for meaning in life through his musical poetry.
