I got Debbie's Name and I see you got Harry's! Such a grande person. He always lifts my spirits and is honest. I like that in him...You have a fan-tab-ulous acrostic here, Carol. It is stylin', girl! ...ps...thanks for encouraging my son in his writing. He just called me on the way home and asked who is Carol Brown...she commented on my poetry..I chuckled. You are a goood and gracious poet, Carol. Love, Gwendolen
