A few years ago I included a poem in one of my speeches, and because I had received positive feedback, I am including it in this newsletter. If you would like to include a poem, a recipe, a joke, an article or anything else that may be informative to our readers, please contact me. Many people have contributed to this newsletter, and with your assistance, you can help make our next issue even better.

I See Many Things

By Thomas A. Barretta

I see a mother
Who loves and cares for her son

I see a new born
With a curiosity like a cat

I see a new puppy
Who loves this new-found friend

I see a red rose
That feeds off of Mother Nature's tear drops

And a woman who is more than beautiful
She is stunning to the naked eye

Vision is not a question of what you see
But how you see it

Sleep can create some breath taking photographs
But life's dreams are the most beautiful photographs of all

My eyes are open
And my dreams have come true.
