DEDICATION FOR THE FOURTH EDITION
++
Give me strength or give me mercy
++
++
++
++
++
DEDICATION FOR THE THIRD EDITION
++
Though I look right at home
++
I still feel like an exile
++
++
DEDICATION FOR THE SECOND EDITION
++
I’m just about glad that I knew you once and it was more than just a passing acquaintance.
++
I’m just about glad that it was a memory that doesn’t need constant maintenance.
++
There are a few things that I regret,
++
But nothing that I need to forget.
++
For all of the courage that you never had
++
++
Once again, these words mean so much more than they might.
++
and so the cycle continues:
++
++
DEDICATION FOR THE FIRST EDITION
++
A statement of resiliency more than despair:
++
I never wanted to hear that song you dedicated tonight.
++
Because, you see, I heard that song so long before we met,
++
That it means so much more than it might.
