James, It is certainly no surpise to find you listed in the #1 spot again. This poem is so emtionally stirring. I am honored in disbelief to have my 15 minutes, brushing shoulders with the likes of you! From your friends' comments below, I've gathered your daughter's health status may uncertain. My prayers are with you and your family.

This is seriously heartwrenching (and awesome). In view of the wear in those shoes, "My daughter" will accomplish her goal. Thank you for your positive outlook and encouragement to others.

Oh man, James...The last line tells me at that very least that your daughter has become ill? (afraid I'm assuming the worst here) Would appreciate a soup mail or comment telling me if I have misinterpreted - Tim
