It always brings my memory and my thoughts back to the lands of my birth, the lands of my fathers. Just with these thoughts, my eyes fill with tears and my heart aches for the time when I will feel again the heart beats of my lovely island, Kiribati, which I have always hold dear in my heart, mind and soul, now and forever.<br />Thank you Dr. Thaman for your inspiring messages in your poems.<br />Tamana ItaakaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7763817652257084795.post-69679262209069045832009-04-08T08:50:00.000-06:002009-04-08T08:50:00.000-06:00My name is Ron Thaman from Westerville, Ohio.
