I have been searching for many years, 10-15, for some missing poems that a dubious publisher from the past that took advantage of at least a million or more poets and poetesses. The material that made them millions without the expressed permission of those authors. And, tried selling these books back to the authors of their works at ridiculous prices. It was perseverance and drive to find at least some of them. I had copies that I kept in an email account, which I lost the password or forgot it that back then if you didn't have the exact information, you weren't getting into that address. Today, it is different, which goes to show how far our technology has come. I thank my lucky stars and a machine called the Wayback for coming through, to at least finding remnants of these poems. I'll leave their name out of this, a bad publisher of an inexperienced young author. 

May The Days You Wake May the days you wake, shine on the face of the sun. That it shall bring forth, the happiest of moments in thy heart. Far more than your deepest fears, which leaves unsettled emotions. And, may the Lord, calm your soul, in your days of sorrow. But I would deliver nothing less or short, then, that at which is in my heart!

Hi Darlene. And thank you for these encouraging words. Perhaps, I might be in the wrong business and should be a preacher or pastor. Have a great evening my friend, and again, thank you. May The Days You Wake, find you healthy, prosperous and safe all your days. Best of Wishes, William
