Maybe nine or ten years later, I experienced the same feeling one morning and sought out and found the poem and showed it to my wife. Our son Andrew was two and a half or so and was intense in his joy of life. We thought to use the poem in relation to a photograph of Andrew; but, alas the page with the poem went missing. <BR/>I enjoyed your reflection--one well expressed.<BR/>Tom TAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29002351.post-18279304230447508542007-08-01T15:37:00.000-05:002007-08-01T15:37:00.000-05:00Your poem is awesome, thanks for sharing it.Your poem is awesome, thanks for sharing it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29002351.post-44400816399941189532007-06-07T13:47:00.000-05:002007-06-07T13:47:00.000-05:00When I started this Blog I had hoped some old frie...When I started this Blog I had hoped some old friends might stumble across it and say hello. Dennis, it's great to hear from you. Congratulations on your ordination and position at USF. The students there are lucky to have you. I miss my city. <BR/><BR/>I clicked on the Percival35 on your post there and got a blog, but under a different name. Is that you incognito?<BR/><BR/>Oh and Michelle, I've learned to embrace my inner sap.Joel Bittlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03234338506830376036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29002351.post-66434447988722385322007-06-05T13:22:00.000-05:002007-06-05T13:22:00.000-05:00Hey Joel...nice blog.

Yes, poetry can add meaning to people's lives, they just have to read it. Teaching at USF now. Ordained a priest a couple of years ago. Congrats on the beautiful children and the happy family. You have my prayers.<BR/><BR/>Dennis Recio, SJ<BR/>English Department/USFpercival35https://www.blogger.com/profile/03772697805461551191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29002351.post-71778592096069342122007-05-15T16:37:00.000-05:002007-05-15T16:37:00.000-05:00You are killing me.
