Hey, well I just wanted to say thanks for the comment on my poem, but more importanly, i really like your poem. this one really hits home for me. See, I lost my grandpa about a year and a half ago. he died december 10, 2005- 9 days before my 16th birthday. he looked a lot like santa clause and we were really close. life, especially christmas, my favorite holiday, just isn't the same since.... so yeah... i really like your poesm.. good job.
