		<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Mike Fletcher wrote an inspirational poem<br>
for my birthday. I spent some time composing a reply that scanned<br>
properly in terms of rhythm. ;) With minor modifications, here it is:</p>
<blockquote><p>
My bar is high: set not for me, but you who trained for many years to<br>
leap such heights with practiced ease and aim for stars beyond my<br>
reach. I hear your tales of weary bones, of long hours spent and much<br>
pain born, but also: flying through the air! And so I dare, and so I<br>
dare. And still you urge me onward to heights far above the lowest<br>
bar. With ease can I achieve acclaim, but I can reach things greater<br>
far. You, my friend, will keep me true to gaps that only I can leap,<br>
to things that only I can do, to stars that only I can reach.
</p></blockquote>
<p>I paragraph-wrapped it just for kicks. The rhythm should still be<br>
there, though. =)</p>
