Well, at the writing of this in 2006, I'm no longer sure what history Dakota is going to make, but when I wrote "The Angel" and Dakota was a year and a half old, I was amazed as are all parents, at how brilliant my child was.

THE ANGEL

While he's growing fast and learning faster

He can see the past but has much to master

He implores to all with innocent eyes

Beholding more, but yet to realize

That a world of people are looking to see

Dakota, the Angel, while he makes history
