That was just after I turned 4 and Dan was born... That was a long time ago. That was a beautiful poem, Papa. You sure do have a gift. I think I got a little bit of that from you, though I do not seem to find time for spilling all that stuff in my head out on paper very often. It's a shame, but I always think of my stuff in the middle of other important goings on in everyday life. I am glad you have taken the time to spill out on paper what you have felt in your heart for others to see. What a great encouragement. Thanks.

Nia - I don't find the time either. I have to steal it! Oh. And spilling what's inside my head out on paper is exactly what it is... Without any of the sticky mess;-) Well, I'm off to track down more ugly moods to slay. Wish me luck.

Nia didn't mention me at all... just her and Dan. I was already three at the time and she didn't even mention me- Is that supposed to mean something? lol Like she said tho, you definately have a gift. I got parts of it too and it makes me so happy, at the same time I wish poetry could possess me also. :) It takes me a little more time to "spit-them-out." I can't believe it only took you about 20 on that one. that's insane! Knowing the background of the poem definately makes it all hit home. It's nice to let everyone else reading your poetry get a bit of the background, too. I love you Papa! See ya soon!!! Daddy…..

Where was all of that back in the 80's. At that time in our lives, I strangely remember the jokester and not the poet. Well, no matter. It was a wonderful poem, and I am so happy that you have shared it. Like all the others, I can't wait to hear more. Furthermore, are you going to publish any of them. I for one, think this one ranks at the top. Even Max Lucado could do no better, in my humble opinion. Your friend always Hi Dave,

I googled your name and when I read about your hand and you were at Sherry's in Canby, I knew it was you. Let me know what you are up to besides writing poetry. Jesus can pull you through the rough times. Glad you have him in your life. I have lived in Hood River, Oregon for the past 23 years. I have had a great guy to share my life with for 28 years. Connect me and we'll catch up on each other's lives. Evie Dave,
