I would like to give thanks to the many poets whose works inspired me with new ideals ever encouraging me to continue striving for the hope of my dream. Their work I studied over and over seeking for the gift of capturing the poetic beauty from life and life' surroundings; I give thanks also to the many poetry readers and writers whom I hope someday my works will inspire too. Most of all I give thanks to God who has given me this gift to share with the world. Trailing the eagle's is a continuing search for the freedom to achieve the gift of poetic genius.
