Quotes by Myra Cohn Livingston (?)

“Finding A Way

I'd like you for a friend.
I'd like to find the way
of asking you to be my friend.
I don't know what to say.

What would you like to hear?
What is it I can do?
There has to be some word, some look
Connecting me to you.”
― Myra Cohn Livingston

“like stars and starstuff
born to live,
to blaze,
and die.”
