Comment from Shirley E Kennedy
Hi Dawn,
A very touching introduction to the man and his mission.
The poem is a fine dedication which I'm sure he truly appreciates.
The review is also a fine addition to the book lapel and I'm sure will assist all who view it to fathom the meaning and potential of its contents.

Hi, Jimi - I'm sorry to be so late replying - as usual, I am lagging f-a-r behind. He is Unspoken on FanStory - left now, but kept his account open, so if you want to read some of his work, I'm sure you will love it.
Thanks so much!

I will sweet Dawn, as I too am far behind,,

Comment from PoemsOfDD
Dawn, I really like Bill's work. He is an earth angel and I am very honored to have read his work and got to know more of him through his poetry. You had written a wonderful tribute for him.
Just a tiny comment - the second to last line in your poem reads a tad confusing to me - "....seems sow the seeds". I'm not sure what the line is really trying to say.
Thank you for sharing and supporting Bill. You are a good friend. ~DD

My friend - the word is "seeks", not "seems", and it's not the definition of "seeks" you might think at first glance. It's the secondary meaning - an attempt or desire to obtain or achieve (something). In this case, I'm saying Bill (seeks) or hopes to sow (achieve 'planting seeds of hope'). Thanks very much though - I appreciate the heads up, in case!. :)
Comment from CD Richards
Well, I hope Bill is suitably impressed with the wonderful tribute you have bestowed upon him. I think there are people (I might be one of them) who would give their right arm to hear people speak about them in that way. You might want to look at the 2nd last line - "seeks sow the seeds" - something doesn't seem quite right - but maybe it's just me.
Great job, Dawn. All the best,
Craig

Hi Dawn,
Wow what a wonderful tribute to Bill. I had the pleasure as many have of reading his stories on here and they truly were a work of art. His courage to help others through times that most of us would shy away from just goes to prove that people like him a very rare. I am so pleased that his book has been given the recognition that it deserves. Thank you for your beautiful poem and for sharing it and the good news with us all.

Thanks very much, Brenda! Your review is so encouraging, and affirming also, because I wrote this specifically to share with other websites (in hopes of boosting sales for a book I think deserves all the accolades it can garner). :)
Comment from Jumbo J
Hi D-D,
well, all of a sudden I'm able to review you now... hmmmmmm???????
Everything on this page resonates... the prayer, the beautifully written poem and the notes that tie all of this humanity together.
Even if one didn't have Christ values... the selfless acts you touch on are enough to admire from a human perspective. To me that is the lesson within our own personal journey... to know and serve our fellow human, how ever that takes form.
Truly enjoyed reading the 'whole' of this... and yes, 'Conversations' will be on my reading list... well after I finish reading 'Jessica' a BC special... did Tomo and Hawk and now almost finished Jessica... and apparently I need to purchase this brilliant author I read about on face book who has recently released a book of short stories? Yes indeed she will be on my list... no damn, she is on my list! Smile))))))))))))!
With our thoughts we create,
an environment of management.

James! It's so wonderful to 'see' you!
Bill is a psychologist/counselor who works with terminally ill children and families. Some of his work is here under the pen name of Unspoken. You will love any of his poems and stories, I'm sure!
Thanks so very much. :) XXOO

D-D! So wonderful to 'read' you!
Yes, I remember reading a couple of 'Unspoken's' work. Any human that takes on this calling is special in my books! vx's.

Oh, so special, and strong. I think I am pretty strong, but I couldn't do it, and I know it taxes him greatly - he's a grandfather to 6 children, and suffers from Parkinson's, James.

It this type of human being that always inspires me to be a better version of myself on a daily basis... and I have the honour of knowing a few! vx's.

Me too (and you are one of them)!!!

I will have to search this book out. I'm sure I will be blessed by reading. Thank you for sharing this with us. You are doing a good service. I guess he's on FS. I have somehow missed his writing.

Angels come to us in many forms -- sometimes even unseen. I am happy you two have connected. May each of you be to encourage one another and in so doing show the way for others who trod a dark, lonely path.
