Hmm not sure how to write a message with soup mail, sorry, not familiar. I usually get mail, then I reply. Following your comments on my poem, "the smile of a child", I wanted to know how many children you have and how old they are. I feel that you love children very much. If you want to email me, feel free to do so. Thanks again, James, your poet friend, Caroline.
