'A Child is Born' is the first volume of the "Ode to Friendship Trilogy'. Written in the rhyming meter, that best exemplifies classical poetry, this collection of 70 poems introduces the Child (whose name is indeed Poetry) into our physical world and where it takes its first, infant steps. The poems are all quite different, looking at life in its various aspects, at least some, while seeking the higher path that leads, ever onwards, towards the Truth.Beneath it all rests the great (exalted) gift of friendship while here, in particular, one of its most treasured examples is honored. A courageous and forever cherished friend who, by way of selfless sacrifice, brought new life when all about seemed lost or forsaken. Such is the underlying essence of this trilogy and which inspired the poet, in large part, to continue to strive for that which seemed worthwhile at the time. The poetry begins between these covers and, from one unselfish seed, still continues to grow - be it without limit as that friend would desire.
