Allen,

"Perfect! I really do want to thank you Allen. I know my wife will love the poem you have written. Giving jewelry, flowers and the common anniversary gifts are great but I believe she will truly be touched by the gift you have provided. Yes, you may publish it. Again, Thanks!

Hi Allen

As far as funerals can go Peter would have loved his and I could only but feel him there with us. Listening to the Abba and Grease music we had instead of hymns followed by the Poem. Hearing his cheeky laugh as each verse ended. My parents were overwhelmed with it, everyone loved it and a lot of people requested copies of it. I know I have thanked you many times but we wanted to give Peter a really good send off to reflect the person he was and you helped us do that.
I will scan the picture and send it to you asap.

Best regards, Beverley

Hi Allen,

Thank you so much for your first draft. Sorry that I came back to you just today but I was in Zimbabwe until yesterday. When I read your poem tears were running down. I was really touched and I like it very much. You absolutely found the right words to express my thoughts and feelings. You don’t need to do any changes. I love it as it is. Once again thank you.
If you would like to publish it I don’t have any problems. Please do.

Best regards, Kerstin

Allen,

Sorry I have been out of pocket. We lost two guys in a helicopter crash Saturday morning.
The poem sounds great. I would like to see if we can work the second verse just a bit. Here is an idea let me know what you think.

And so in Iraq, we wound up at the same place,
and though I lived in a tent with a dirt floor,
it was there we began our long series of Cribbage,
and I think that I am winning, like 500 games to 4.

Thanks, James

It is unbelievable. I love it!! And I thank you for making it happen... It is the best gift I think I will ever give him...

"...words can't express how I feel at the moment - the poem says everything that I want to tell Justin for our first anniversary..."

"This is truly a wonderful work of art. You have put on paper what I have felt for most of my 43 years."

"I am not and never have been angry at him for being in the military."

"You are truly talented, thank you so much for this wonderful gift."

"He called me from the UN building in Baghdad..."

"..the poem was one of the main highlights of the event. My Parents loved it!!"

"The 50th wedding anniversary was wonderful! I think my parents really enjoyed the poem."

"Thanks for the rewrite -- it's perfect!"

"She spoke them to me straight from her Soul."

"Thank you so much for this, you truly put my words together."

"I've seen a number of the poems on your site... and it's easy to tell that you put a lot of effort into all your poems"

"Wow! It is perfect, I love it"

"Wanted to tell you thank you and give you a real big hug for the poem you wrote me you are the greatest of all. That poem was the talk of all talks at my wedding to let you know. It really touched everyone's hearts."

I read "Dance Then" with tear...it's so great,beautiful spirit and healthy strong mind as my age. What ever you like to do with this poetry please do. I don't mine appear my name.I feel honored.

Thanks again,
Hatsumi
