[ Dear Teri ]
[ I Am So Sorry For Your Loss, Today ]
[ I Wish That I Could Be, Some Kind Of Help ]
[ For You, In Any Way ]

[ I Am Glad That I Had The Conversations With Steve, That I Did ]
[ I Remember Going Into His Office With Him ]
[ When He Was Explaining Everything In There ]
[ It Made Me Feel Like A Kid ]

[ Everything In There, Had A Reason To Be In There ]
[ You Could See That They Were Handled With Care ]

[ Steve’s Wealth Of Knowledge, Cannot Be Explained By Just Using Words ]
[ The Ways That He Explained Each Item ]
[ He Would Talk So Fast I Could Not Keep Up With Every Adjective, Noun Or Adverb ]

[ But He Was Patient With Me, If I Asked Him The Same Question Again ]
[ He Would Ask Me Where He Lost Me ]
[ Then That Would Be Where He Would Begin ]

[ Being The Giant Man, That He Was ]
[ I Never Heard Him Say Something ]
[ Just Because ]

[ His Words Always Had A Reason To Be Heard ]
[ Sometimes He Would Be Quiet ]
[ & Just Observe ]

[ His Mind ]
[ Was Always The Busy Kind ]
[ It Could Take Him Awhile,To Unwind

[ Steve Was A Bit Of A Perfectionist ]
[ Everything That He Said Was Straight Forward ]
[ He Never Beat Around The Bush, Or Ended His Conversations With A Twist

[ He Always Gave People His Best ]
[ Knowing That When The Problem Had Been Resolved ]
[ That Is When He Could Rest ]

[ When Steve Would Come Into A Room, He Always Had An Air Of Authority To Him ]
[ He Never Did It For Show ]
[ Chances Of Him Asking Or Demanding To Get Respect, Were Razor Slim ]

[ Steve Was Probably Type (A) Personality Decades Ago ]
[ He Then Slid Into The Role Of The ALPHA Dog Position ]
[ In A Room Full Of Other Alpha Dogs Wondering Who THE TOP Alpha Dog Was? ]
[ When Steve Comes In, Everyone Will Know ]

[ Steve Will Be Missed ]
[ By Too Many To List ]
[ Would Steve Have Wanted Me To Write Any Of This? ]

[ Probably Not ]
[ He Never Tried To Seek Out The Bright Dot ]

(425)▪︎[ A Good Rhyme … 2023 ]

[ As You Lay Here, On Your King Sized Bed ]
[ You Find That You Have A Thousand Thoughts, Going Through Your Head ]

[ You Have Found, That When You Are In Distress ]
[ You Have A Tendency, To Look Inward ]
[ & See Nothing, But A Mess ]

[ You Thought, That If You Write Yourself An Explanation Letter ]
[ In A Matter Of Three Weeks ]
[ You Would, Feel Better ]

[ But Has This Type Of Thinking Added Or Subtracted, Years From Your Life Span? ]
[ Does This Kind Of Thinking, Make You A Better Man? ]
[ Than Jackson Or Dan? ]

[ But What Are You Going To Find ]
[ When You Try, To Look Into Your Own Mind? ]

[ When You Find Something, Profound ]
[ Can You Hang On To It? ]
[ Or Let It Slip Out? ]
[ So It Crashes, On The Ground? ]

[ But Then No Amount Of Money, Can Buy A Second Of Time ]
[ & No Amount Of Words ]
[ Can Always, Make A Good Rhyme ]

[ A Good Rhyme Consists Of Many Words, Coming Together  With A Thought ]
[ You Put Your Heart & Soul In Each One ]
[ Because, You’re Not A Robot ]
[ When Everything Is Written, Said & Done ]
[ You Should Be Thankful, With What You’ve Got ]

[ The Finished Product, Is Not Always Great ]
[ But 9 Out 10 Times, Is Definitely Worth The Wait ]

[ The Trust Is Almost Gone ]

[ How Does One Trust, When The Word Is Stepped On So Many Times? ]
[ Crossing So Many Lines ]

[ What Subjects Are Talked About? ]
[ Between Them? ]
[ A Relationship That They Want To Get Out ]

[ Of? ]
[ Or Are They Out Of Love? ]

[ One Expects That The Partner @ Home Is Wearing Blinders Through All Of This ]

[ This, Is ]

[ Could Blinders Be Given For Their Heart? ]
[ @ The Finish? ]
[ Or From The Start? ]

[ For Which One? ]

[ Does The Cheater Think That The Whole Affair Is Fun? ]
[ The Cheater Feels They Are Safe ]
[ There Is No Way That The One Left @ Home, Will Run ]

[ What Is So Scary Is How Easy It Is For The Cheater To Lie ]
[ Even While Looking @ Each Other, Eye To Eye ]

[ Day After Day ]
[ Night After Night ]
[ The Cheater Finds A Way ]
[ To Convince Themselves, That What They Are Doing Is Alright ]
