C...Concentrate in your priorities. E...Everyday is a new expirence. 02/11/2013 Written by Lucilla M.

Great words of wisdom Lucilla. I'm sure he'd be honored to have you write this for him. And for those that still remain they can read this and be encouraged to smile more... you're a genuine poet methinks. Keep doing what you do!
