I would like to take this time to ask that NONE of these be altered or copied or changed in any way. These are memories of mine that are very dear to me. They take me back to times that otherwise may have been forgotten in time. Many of you who have been a big part of my life are in someway connected to many of my poems. For that reason alone they are very special to me AND the people they refer to. Please also keep in mind that YOU are the very first people I have chosen to share some of my thoughts with. They are not meant in anyway to offend anyone and I am sorry if they did, but they are nevertheless close to my heart. I am giving these to you this year because I feel that the best anyone can give is part of themselves. This IS the very most of myself that I can give to you with all trust and understanding that you will comply to my wishes. I have also included as kind of a bonus a short description about the poem its self. This may help you more fully understand meaning behind the poem, the way it was meant and so on.

Merry Christmas
