April 18th…“TELL ABOUT THE BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT YOU EVER RECEIVED.”

POEM – “L. I. F. E.”  by N. Elliott Noorlun

#61=Elliott's first B.D.,Jan. 1955
If you look to the background room, you can even see Elliott’s baby crib on his 1st birthday January 14th, 1955.

L……..oving each day, He has given to me,

#107=Elliott with fedora hat on 6th BD; January 14, 1960
Elliott is 6 years old on January 14th, 1960.

I……….nspired by those who show love,

#156=Elliott sick at his 14th BD party. Jan. 14, 1968
Elliott (far right) is sick as a dog on his 14th birthday on January 14th, 1968.

F………inding each moment, Unwrapped for the joys,

#176=Elliott BD with family; circa 1998
Still a silly birthday kid at the age of 44 on January 14th, 1998.

E……..xcited for God’s gift from above.

I may be only one oat seed in a field of millions, yet I have a story to share of beginnings on our beloved farm in southern Minnesota and beyond to life as I've seen it to this point. Famous? No. Gifted? Unlikely. Yet, I want to leave a legacy to my children and grandchildren of who this gentle Norwegian man was. My happy times, sad times, successes and failures. Someday, those who are tiny now, will have this volume to come to and get to know this Norwegian Farmer's Son.
