Gracemont

Great people are raised here;
Raul is the poet of his town,
And he's an uncle of mine.
Courageous with his pen;
Everyone knows his name.
Motionless by the tree,
On top of his famous hill.
Nothing stops the writing of,
The poet of Gracemont.






~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dedicated to my uncle Raul Moreno          
for his undying love of Gracemont.

Daniel, this is such a wonderful tribute to Raul! I've read some of his work here and he is an uncle in whom you can take great pride. I think the talent is in the family! Carolyn

I really appreciate your kind words describing my true loves. I enjoy sharing what God has given me i.e. the land I love and the flow of words. Yes, great people are raised here, the one that sticks out to me is T. C. Cannon. His art painted a way for me and other artists to achieve what we have. Thanks for this wonderful honor in an astonishing write...Raul
