Notes About The Poem

John Hamilton

John is a Christian man, a philosopher, and a poet that 
offers his talents, beliefs, and insights to all 
honestly, openly, and with a compassionate, understanding heart,
never preaching, and yet, sure of his convictions. 

His quote, "Sunsets are biased, because, they are naturally one-sided," 
allows us a glimpse of his good-natured hyperbole and dry humor.
More than a talented poet, John is to music what white 
is to snow, the two are virtually inseparable.
Lyrical poems are his favorite mode of expression and
that allows him to combine his two loves, excelling at both.
Over the years, I've gotten to know John through his pen, but we
never met, till one day he dropped by, and I got to shake his hand.
