Darlin’

And I imagine
My life different

There would
Have been breakfast
Eggs and bacon

Children
At least two
A boy and a girl

What more
Than that
I can not tell

What would you expect
After all

It’s just
One word

OK, I am very quickly becoming a major fan of your writing, Huan Yi.  You have much talent and am a bit curious as to when you first began to write?

Thank you both

Jan,

I would say the real beginning was when I got
to begin scuba diving alone.  Before, in the USMC,
I once saw a master sergeant sorting through
another Marine’s personal effects before they
were sent home to the family.  I was a pretty
intense lone diver; people assumed one day
I wouldn’t come back.  I took the two to heart
and so I began to write and then make miniature
copies of the results to carry in a billfold left in
my gear bag.   Things pretty much progressed
from there.

Thanks again both for reading

John
