*********************
"I've been chosen to be a minor poet, hardly recognized as noble mission;
but when you and I open a single heart to the wonders of the Creator's
mold, we've promoted universal kinship, and there's rejoicing for one
new soul within His everlasting fold."
Robert E.L. Nesbitt, Jr., M.D.
