Here follow some words which I address
to a child in my life. Perhaps they will be
helpful in giving you ideas to compose your
own letters to a child you hold dearly. Perhaps
that child is the one within you:
For My Child
If I could I would never allow pain to
enter your life
If I could I would keep you in my pocket
to make you feel safe
If I could I would plant seeds of joy
in your soul
If I could I would make you believe
that no hope is impossible to attain
If I could I would catch your sweet
dreams and save them for you
If I could I would grow beautiful
colored flowers that blossom for you
in the snow
If I could I would borrow the songs
of birds to give to you when you feel sad
If I could I would jump through hoops
of fire to free you from dragons
If I could I would steal away all your
doubts to bring a smile to your face.
With all my love,
Dad

Hi Bill,
I really like your website and your blog! I came across your name while researching motivational speakers for the Spirit of Humanity Festival: Living Loving & Laughing in the Face of Adversity. The festival was created in response to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita with the single mission of encouraging neighbors and friends to “keep on keep’n on.” In the mist of despair there is hope. Within junkyards, treasures are found. New Oreleans is and will continue to rebuild. Wish there was a way I could bottle up your site and pass it along to children and adults here in the Crescent Cty. For now, thanks for your inspiring work. If you find yourself in New Orleans, please look me up.
-Keep on keepn’ on!
