This is happiness, William! To realize the good you have helped produce, and have that good returned to you with love. 'Tis all we can ask for our life's endeavors. May "the way" be far ahead for you.

William, William...you are much too gentle, kind, appreciative, and insightful to call yourself d'Artagnan. (I do love the Musketeers, too, though)

May 2007 bring you much joy.

Good to know that you are not standing at the end of the tunnel beginning your journey, just yet, William. We try to live our lives the best that we can, we try to remember to give thanks, we honor our families, neighbors and friends, yet, we still wonder what will be our fate when we reach our Day of Judgement. Very nice poem.
Take care,
Sherry
