FROM HEART TO PAPER UNEDITED For every tear you shed from hurt physical or emotional For every tear you shed from shame rightly or wrongly My loves my heart sheds a beat I never knew love Until I knew you I love you both from my tippy toes to the peak of my silver threads Don't hurt my dears But when you do I will hold you tight Encase your fears Minimize the pain And when my heart bleeds or slightly feels a crack It's because my daughters your lives before mine. I love you so much girls...

So very sweet. Do your dear daughters realize you are becoming such an amazing poet now? As well as director!! (oops, sorry I didn't mention directors in my prayer poem ; I should have said ALL those connected with the entertainment industry. It's my favorite of all the industries.

This is such a loving tribute to your daughters. Daughters, especially need the words plus the actions that come from a loving father. I applaud you for letting them know Maurice!#7
