&#8220;Remember&#8221;, he said, &#8220;you have education.\u00a0 You have been trained as a writer of novels.\u00a0 You took many years of art lessons.\u00a0 You can do it!\u00a0 You will be able to

and wishes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>All of Martin&#8217;s poems are a memoriam to him.\u00a0 The poems span a lifetime of his reflections.\u00a0 And, yes, there are some poems written about the war.\u00a0 Yes, the war has ended over 70 years, but we must remember the tragedy that happened in Europe during WWII.\u00a0 We must give reverence to the soldiers who fought for European freedom against a devil beast.\u00a0 We must give praise and reverence to the few who survived the war and made a lasting contribution to everyone he came in contact with.\u00a0 Read Martin&#8217;s poems and just for a moment think of yourself vicariously as a young boy in Nazi Slovakia.\u00a0 It will do good for you.\u00a0 Cheryl Freier<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There was one grace to all
