About the Book
Somewhere to Go, Some Difference to Make offers a collection of observations of one man’s American journey presented in poetry and prose and told with humor, pathos, candor, and affection. Author Mark Kimball shares his insight on topics as wide-ranging as Secretariat and Billy the Kid, love and marriage, and the music of ABBA. His self-deprecating style is evident as he tackles such topics as college football, Thomas Jefferson, and many more, including a very special section on how to survive after graduation.
You were often wrong
And just as often slow,
But history must be fair, Tom,
And I forgave you long ago.
Some only hear the darker words
And never let them go,
But I have heard the music, Tom,
And I forgave you long ago.
I hope they find the notes
And someday feel the flow,
But you changed the world forever, Tom,
And I forgave, and learned to love you,
Long ago.
