I only do what I feel that I, as a grandpa, as man who passed so many experiences in life, who lead so many people, as life presented them to me, who as a child, lived among various races, colors and religions, during the war, in the army, in the hospital, at various workplaces, etc, etc should be doing. Life is so beautiful, and the only advice I can give, is: "Enjoy life as much as you can and be always positive".
To J'nia
What a beautiful tribute -
How can I properly say thank you
To a lady who suffered so much?
I was very touched and humbled....
I feel she is the one who deserves this tribute,
For her courage, her perseverance,
Her human dignity, her love -
By being with us,
She shows strength, faith and the will
To emerge, to rise among us
As a writer, a poet
With humor and confidence.
She overcomes evil and adversity
And seeks life's value at a higher level.
I can only say that I am very grateful to you
and to all those who read me -
God bless you,
Emile

Emile, wonderful tribute.I feel we have been put here to lift one another up, to bless and encourage others along the way. This you have done my friend. R C Smith
You life has bee like a onion, many layer must be taken to reach the center, the heart, and it will, like pealing a onion cost many tears, and thinking how silly...many smiles.
Tributes you give, but also tributes should be given to you, because you are a poet, a writer and most, because you are a grandfather.
I think I echo many people when I say that you are a gift to us, Emile. You lift and bless us with your words...always giving us your wisdom to help us strive a little harder, smile a little more, and to be a little kinder.
Your tribute to J'nia is beautiful...and well-deserved.
Oh, Emile, You have honored me to the depth of my soul with this tribute. I wish that I had the ability right now to express and to write exactly what I am feeling at this moment, through my tears. You freely offer me grace and wisdom from your head and your heart and I am blessed to an extreme measure. Since I cannot write it I will instead live it, as one blessed to have been touched by goodness and then warmed by the fire of generosity. I will not forget this tribute, but will live it to the best of my ability. Thank you for this unmerited gift Emile. Love, J'nia
A further collection of poems, many from years in the Middle East, but also the California San Francisco and Central Coast areas (Santa Cruz, Carmel, Big Sur, Berkeley, etc.).
Perhaps "..Quiet Storm" will help rekindle old flames buried and long forgotten or express the love so deeply locked inside of your soul longing to be released.
Regardless of where you may be found in love this beautiful masterpiece can be
