Thanks to all those who expressed their opinion of my writing on this forum
or otherwise. It’s amazing what comes out when you start putting your
thoughts on paper. Poems are a ways for me to get away from the bumps and
grinds of daily life. My profession is centered on dealing with innate
objects like numbers for the most part of the day. Poems and other readings
provide that sanctity needed sometimes. Thanks all for you words of
encouragement.

I guess we can all try to keep the souls of our brothers and sisters
revived in our own little ways.

BMK, I don’t know if I am the one to pursue fulltime poetry. Like I said
earlier, it’s amazing what you see when you put thoughts on paper!
Nonetheless, for now, I will keep writing for the pleasure and beauty in
poetry.

Gassa, I think the Oscar belongs to those brave souls who stood up on this
day to uphold their wits and conscience against evil and injustice. I hope
you took the time to visit with some of the survivors and or their parents.
If not, I would want to urge you to do so. A good way to see for yourself
what they may be going through. Thanks for your thoughts.

Enjoy your day.
