Hey You Most importantly. Happy Mothers Day to all of you mothers!! And to the fathers that for one reason or another try to fill that place in someones life. I also want to say I'm sorry. I'm sorry for the times when I'm late in responding and I know there's been times with good intentions to come back and respond later. And it never happened. I'm sorry if ever there was a time it crossed your mind that I think too highly of myself because in truth you will likely never be more wrong in your life. Often times my struggle is a silent one and it centers around my own self worth. And honestly sometimes I feel completely unworthy of the comments and the praise for my poetry. And yet. Like many of you I recall every mile I ran, walked or crawled to get through hell to be who, and what I am today. Still. I've a ways to go. But you are helping me get to a better place. Each time you take the time to comment or reply another thread of an unbreakable bond is put in place. And I know the same is true of me. I promise to try to do better and please never doubt what you have come to mean to me in a short period of time. Lastly I was asked if Edwin C Hofert is a pen name or if it's my real name. It is my real name. And the best part of me is what I found here at poetrysoup.com. You.
