Demetrios, The tears will just have to wait, kindest soul ever to put pen to paper. One of the truest poets I've ever known. Glad to have you in this life, mine. -Richard

A true, but sad statement, my dear friend. Nice to see your poem today. I haven't checked your page for a while and almost missed it. The tears can wear on an aging soul such as I. My time may be nearing. I'm healthy, but my heart is susceptible to the pain and suffering going on throughout the world and is breaking. I so want for Love to prevail. May your days be blessed, Demetrios. A poet friend in Texas, Bill

My dearest friend Bill, we are sailing in the same boat. It is true that we are old but this means that we are blessed souls as well for not all people can reach your age and mine. Enjoy the trip till it is over. Be blessed!
