Very moving comment as is your poem Jan. We should remember what Ghandi said, "just because some of the ocean is dirty it does not mean that all the ocean is dirty". Jan - try to have a Happy New Year ! Peter Happy New Year Jan.

This hits me not so much about death but about parting spirits once tied by love. Hope is eternal and the substance of our dreams. The title says it all. Congratulations, Jan on a fine piece and a great win.

Hi Jan! Congratulations on a wonderful win. It is a very touching well composed poem. How cute!....You and I sharing a couple of 6's.... If we split the 6 does that mean we are each a 3? You should have gotten a higher placement but a win is a win. Have a great day and a Happy New Year! Take care. Earl

I have to say Tim I didn't either but Nette has it down as being by U2 on her contest... I bought the original Journey record when it first came out - the kids at school thought i was 'cool' as I knew all the words to the record for Glee lol:-( Hugs jan xxx
