Dee, This is a very nice one Dee, but, I am having a tough time believing that you could be stubborn! O.K.! , ... I take it back! , ... Hey! , I said I take it back! , UNCLE! , UNCLE! , UNCLE! ... already! B.V.A.

Wonderfully crafted poem and I commend you for all that you do do. Top marks and thanks for sharing it my friend. David
a most commendable and interesting perspective on life, especially with respect to maintaining emotional distance while still being involved .I can definitely see how this would play out in your profession. as always your words are so clear and masterfully written
I'm not much of an altruist but I know what you mean...I wear my enemies as my red badge of courage.
From reading this, hope you do keep being 'you'. Beautiful work. Sincerely, Connie Webb
