About Me

*********************************************** I am a poet...I am kind to strangers, loyal to friends, and spoil those I love. I lavish attention on children and animals and hold the beauty of life sacred. I hope too much, love too well, and gather less than I sow. I own nothing of value yet have everything I need. I think you have to take the bitter with the sweet in life and do the best you can. I love God, my sons, my family, my friends and my country....flaws and all...and hope they feel the same towards me. ***********************************************
