  1. Michael, I will always cherish the depth of your soul. Years ago I wrote a poem after hearing you sing. I felt sorry for being unattractive, adored hearing you sing "Completely ". Lately I found that poem and think it is pretty good. I am glad you are happily married because I knew you would find someone you loved completely.I do know the pain communicators feel when nobody wants to listen.You sound happy.
