Charlie Barlie
Elegance and brilliance, words so fine,
Describe my Charlie, daughter mine,
Who, people say, takes after me.
A true creative soul is she.
Her fresh young beauty does astound
Her smile with mischief does abound.
Her nature true and full of love,
Her sweetness gentle as the dove.
My Charlie’s confident and strong,
To art and nature she’ll belong.
With ideas bubbling in her soul
Deep self-fulfillment is her goal.
Her mind is sharp, her eye likewise,
Her sensitivity is a prize.
Her words so wise beyond her years,
Her goodness supercedes her fears.
Oh, Charlie! What a jewel you are,
With all the trappings of a star!
So tall and lovely, sweet and good,
I’d give the world to you if I could.
Her gracefulness a natural thing,
Her intellect, a song to sing.
Her charm is quite beyond compare,
Her sense of fun is everywhere.
My Charlie! You’re a special soul,
Destined for some unique rôle,
A wondrous future is in store
To make your loved ones gaze in awe.

Clive read this to a small group of would-be Interfaith Ministers this afternoon. I was very moved. You are obviously a very special Dad if you can write like this to a daughter. It’s a gift that should be given full rein. I wish I could write like that.
This said and same small group is with you and behind you and supporting you, though none of us have met you………….all Clive’s work. He’s a good buddy to have on your side, but then you know that.
Blessings and Shalom

Hi, John… Welcome to my life.
I realy do appreciate your support and your prayers – I am a great believer in that power.
Clive and I have known each other for ever, it seems. He is a true “old soul” whose intuition knows no bounds. With someone like him around one feels that anything is possible.
To you – Peace, Shalom, Salaam, and may the Great Architect share His Wisdom with you always
