Pieces in "Family and Friends:"

  1. 4. Wishes Birthday wishes for a good friend of mine. I usually send this out on birthdays along with a fresh poem.
  2. 6. Mother A tribute to mothers, especially mine - "lights that guide us through the dark".
  3. 18. Friends For a dear friend who I "thank for being steadfast in love for those are the very things - that makes us feel not like paupers but as kings".
  4. 29. Inspire For my mother - "with her at my side, the battle of life to fight, saves me from danger, my anchor in any plight"
  5. 37. Friends2 For a dear old friend, in memory of good times and a imperative to "raise our glasses we did in toast - to a life from which we would wrest the most".
