February 13
I hope .. I hope .. I hope. Family, I hope your eyes will melt after receiving the message from Jay. (I Hope) Welcome, my friend, welcome! 
I've thought all day long
and have reached the conclusion
that I should have worked
for with sweat and toil the bread comes
but what have I earned
through much thought today
a few lines written
a poets pay
meager wages for such toil
but my soul hungered for more than bread
and callused hands
will have their chance again
to feed the hungry
God willing
for poets often starve
