What started as a piece written to his mother "My Christmas Wish" to get her through her first Christmas without his father, "One Hundred Keys to the Kingdom" is not religious - it is spiritual; it is not didactic: it's practical. Each piece is written in a perfect pentameter of five stanzas of four lines each. The author counts the title as part of the lines totaling twenty-one, that being the magic number of making an activity a habit of the mind after repetition. The pieces are not repetitious, however. Each has its own character and impact. It is one of the few works of modern poetry with its own feel and style. The author is also a trained actor, so that may have some influence on his written delivery. I've seen him at his one man show and I can unabashedly say he is as excellent an actor as his written work is accomplished and polished.
