Dear Brother, I am most glad you read this poem as it is meant to honor you and the nights you have to have the nightmares knowing the pain that is associated. As promised I hope to be getting to your port this week and read from it to enjoy myself. There are so many poets on this site but I find only two or three maybe more that I love to read and you top the list. i am most happy you accept me as I am with the limitations I have and the orientation that is mine but is not a big part of my life as it once was. I am first of all a human being and you acknowledge this which blesses my heart and I do love you as a Christian and as a fellow poet and a member of society that means so very much to me. Take care and know I am most happy to be named an American and to know you as a Warrior of peace. cubby
