I submitted a new work today, that I'll be honest, and apologize for leaving tears on the monitor. I couldn't help it. I miss him so much.<BR>
<BR>
If anyone here knows someone who is in the military, call them up, tell them thank you for their service. It'll make their holiday's a little brighter.<BR>
<BR>
If anyone wants to know the story behind my submission just ask, I'd love to tell.<BR>

I read your Manifesto. I loved it. Other than the parts about Texas...it sounded like I often felt growing up.<BR>

<BR>
Sage;<a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2001.12.15.23.16.8950">The Tar Oiled Sky</a> The first verse is wonderful and I love the title. This made me go back and read all your earlier works. I like your writing a lot, please write more for us.<BR>
<BR>
Stevr; <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2001.12.15.22.09.26946">Gentle Rain</a> Are you British perhaps? I detect an accent here. I love this poem and went back and read your work too. Very nice. More please.<BR>
<BR>
Ramdy1; Well you know I am a sucker for anything that has to to do with my honey. HA Thank you so much for your poem <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2001.12.15.23.50.2251">Fountain of Love</a> it made me cry.<BR>
<BR>
tears of an angel; you painted a real picture with your <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2001.12.15.13.44.30642"> i drive many hours....</a><BR>

<BR>

Misti; For certain woman, I vote you most original. <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2001.12.15.16.58.2014">The Utterly Pretentious and Ridiculous But Heartfelt eBuLLieNce Manifesto</a> was quite a picture.<BR>
<BR>
Beyond Different; They are our Hero's, our true blue Hero's and it amazes me every day how much we take for granted. <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2001.12.16.00.22941"></a> is a wonderful remembrance.<BR>
