... who has experienced the words that he writes ...
Portrait Of A Sad Man
Who has had more pain in
his life than should be allowed;
who has experienced the words that
he writes; who has laughed; loved; lived
and lost; who served our Nation that forgets
the meaning of the words honor and sacrifice ---
don't cry, sad man. Thought I knew heartache until
yours arrived in today's mail: you let me walk a mile in
your shoes. A long, hard journey: but worth the tears you
scribed on my heart. Proud to call you Poet. Friend. Brother ...
thank you.

Beautiful tribute Karla as we are all so proud to have him as part of family. Thank you for speaking for so many of us. We love you Georg and are proud to call you our friend.
George should get out of the doldrums with this write. It shows stepping stones going down and up, either way you view it. I really think you put lots of effort in this write for Georg. I do like the style to this one, going in steps, at the end and just letting the words flow about him. Georg make Karla very proud of you and come back to us as your cheerful self. Life is what you make of it, and you know that to be true.
This touched me, Karla, and I know Georg will appreciate it too! A wonderful tribute to a special man I am proud to call friend! I love you, (((Sweet Georg))); God bless you! And God bless YOU, Karla! Very well penned; brava!

A wicked Cajun Fairy named Robes Pierre entered the impenetrable Magical doll land of Sha Bebe. Queen Faustina, the ruler of the doll land, thought she had destroyed him, but he's back! Will the doll land survive his evil ways?
Let this coming of age story of a boy named Bean take you back to a simple time. Set in a small southern town in the 1960's, encircled by a river and gleaming white cotton fields.
