                    At the age of 3 years old, our family lived with my maternal grandparents while my father was in seminary.  One day the kid living next-door to us came up to me and said, “Greg Fisher I am going to give you a bloody nose.”  The next thing that happened—when he did, in fact, punch me in the

                    [198].  A MESSAGE FROM A POEM – O FOREST, HOW YOU WEEP IN PAIN

If this was a musical composition it would be in a minor key.  The summary is, “O forest, how you weep in pain, but
