Once Upon My Time

About the Book

This collection of poems begins at the beginning of life and includes reflections and observations of childhood and adulthood, including the joyful as well as the painful aspects of being a human being. In other words, it chronicles years for which I am very grateful as I am approaching my mid-eighties.
