When we cleaned my grandmother house out I found this book of poetry and I was such a happy accident Just a wonderful collection of poems relevant in any age or era.

Lately, I am randomly remembering books, odds and ends that I've read. Books that were important to me in my youth.
I just texted my friend, Mrs. S., now living in Tennessee, who gave this book to me as a going away gift, back in 1974 when I was 14 and she was 39. I was leaving Kansas for Beirut, Lebanon. This book was my first book of poetry. Since then poetry has been an ongoing, regular pleasure in my reading life. The love of poetry is such a remarkable gift to give someone. I had to thank her for that. She had forgotten giving me the book but she told me she is a life-long lover of poetry too, making it an even more special gift.
Sadly I lost my book, among the many large and small things that can be and have been lost in the many intervening years. I just ordered a like new 1972 copy to read again, one loss that can be remedied.
But even more remarkably and thankfully, I still have my friend who's 90 now!
