thanks for YOUR comment, dear Harry. no, you are a poet at heart and should always remain one. this and all your poems prove it. do not let one 'off' person lead you to believe anything else. you love so deeply, wherever your Lenore is, she is grateful to be in your heart forever. and by the way....I'm sure you are a phenomenal cook too! much love to you dear, sweet brother. love and hugs, shar xoxo
