A Poem for My 61st Birthday.


November 1, 2021
I wrote this yesterday on my birthday in celebration of Dr. Danny Friedland’s last living day, Saturday. I wrote about Danny in a post earlier in October.

I was born and life was simple.
I learned and life became more complex.
I entered adulthood and life became complicated.

I was born with wonder.
I will die with awe.
