No problem at all Kitty, my rebuke was pointed solely at the person who claimed my work. I thank you most kindly for your gracious concern in this matter. I don't write these for the money and have given permission for countless gift-drives and such to include copies in packages sent overseas. I got a letter from one submariner who xeroxed a copy for every guy on his boat and handed them out on Christmas eve. The only thing I ask is that if they are passed around they go without edit to content or author, as they were intended. God bless to all who watch over us, and those who await their safe return. - Michael
(if a moderator could correct the errant attribution in the post above I would appreciate it - otherwise these things grow as people cut/paste in entirety without following a thread to find the correction. I would consider it a very kind favor.)
That is so Wonderful, my Friend! There is no doubt that your Beautiful Poems have been a Blessing to many.
May the Gracious God of Heaven Always Bless your Work, Patriot Poet, as you bring Comfort and Joy to many, as you have to us who Lovingly Appreciate your Work!
