COMMENT BY TAI CHI ITALY: 'Mike, every word of this lovely tribute to a very brave man, friend and poet Denis Joe is true. We must take more care of each other in future and I am sure Denis will feel our strength in unison to get over this boulder that has confronted his life, coming his way as I write. A fine piece of writing, and a fitting tribute to the strength of human resolve we find in our hour of need.10 from Tai, very shocked and very tired but never giving up hope for his and all of our better times ahead.'

Mike this is truly a deep and thoughtful poem. Each word treads in much compassion and sincere empathy. Very moving, and I'm sure he will appreciate it when he is well. Ang. :)
