[262]▪︎[ My Dog Really Knows Me … 4•11•2022 ]

[ How Come My Dog Is Twice As Smart As All Of My Past
     Rommates Combined? ]
[ She Doesn’t Bitch As Much ]
[ & (SHE) Looks Cute When She Wines ]

[ She Would Be Better Mannered @ The Kitchen Table ]
[ She Would Politely Ask For 2nds If Only She Was Able ]

[ She Would Always Leave The Seat Down For Any Other
     Females In The House ]
[ She Would Always Clean Up Any Messes That Was Made ]
[ So It Would Not Fall Upon My Spouse ]

[ She Always Loves What She Just Ate ]
[ That Is Why She Always Cleans Her Plate ]

[ She Only Wakes Up Once To Be Let Out ]
[ She Lets Me Know By Pawing @ The Bed ]
[ Instead Of Banging On The Door & Not Letting Me Know
     What It Is All About ]

[ My Dog Exercises With Ease ]
[ & I Never Have To Say (PLEASE) ]

[ I Throw Her Antler (1) Way ]
[ [ & She Brings It Back ]
[ She Could Go All Day ]
[ But That Would Give Her  A Heart Attack ]

[ She Has Not Messed In The House Since She Was Young ]
[ I Wonder How Many Taste Buds Are On Her Tongue ]

[ I Really Have To Watch What Falls On The Floor ]
[ There Are Alot Of Ingredients That Could Put Her @ Death’s
     Door ]

[ My Dog Is Getting Up There In Years ]
[ I Do Know That This Is Clear ]
[ That The Day She Passes I Will Shed A Thousand Tears ]

[ She Has Great Instinct On Who To Growl @ & When To Wag
     Her Tail ]
[ She Makes A Great Guard Dog ]
[ Without Fail ]

[ I Wish That She Would Live Many Many More Years Than She
     Is Supposed Too ]
[ But When Death Shows Up ]
[ What Can You Do? ]

[ I Always Make The Best Of The Time I Have With Her ]
[ (1) More Hour, (6) More Days ]
[ Nobody Knows For Sure ]

[ I Have Never Had A Dog That Reads My Emotions ]
[ She Shows Such Love & Devotion ]

[ I Could Put Her Food Down, Then Go & Get Mine ]
[ She Will Usually Not Eat Even A Bite ]
[ Until I Get Back, No Matter The Time ]

[ She Reads Me Like An Open Book ]
[ When I Had Had A Bad Day ]
[ She Slowly Walks Over & Gives Me Her Look ]

[ She Speaks Better Human Than I Do Dog ]
[ If I Gave Her A Brand New Laptop ]
[ Would She Contiribute To My Blog? ]

[ She Has Better Things To Do It Seems ]
[ She Comforts Me In The Night ]
[ If My Nightmare Causes Me To Scream ]

[ & To Think That A Worker @ The Shelter Tried To Put Us With
     Her Brother ]
[ I Don’t How Many Times That I Told Her ]
[ (NO, WE WANT THE OTHER!) ]

[ I Am Hoping For Many More Years Having My Best Friend
     Near ]
[ I Am So Thankful For All Of The Time That She Has Lived With
     Me Here ]

(111)▪︎[ A Meaningful Story … 2•8•2022 ]

[ I Have This Friend, Who I Dearly Love ]
[ Who Really Has Alot Of Faith In The Man Who Lives Really High
     Above ]

[ I Have Tried My Hardest To Be The Best Male Friend That She Has
     Ever Had ]
[ & I Have Tried My Hardest To Never Make Her Mad ]

[ I Am Very Sure ]
[ That I Have Never Wanted To Be On The Wrong Side Of Anger
     With Her ]

[ Oh, I Have Heard Story After Story ]
[ Of Her Past Glory ]

[ She Became (2) Parents To Her Kids When Her Husband Of
     Over (30) Years Passed ]
[ But Parental Love Did Not Lapse ]

[ She Took On The Mother/Father/Grandmother/Grandfather
     Roles Quite Well ]
[ Love & Honesty Did Not Go To Hell ]

[ I Could Never Pinpoint The Day Or Event That, When Or How We
     Became Best Friends ]
[ We Just Did ]
[ So That Is Where & When The Mystery Ends ]

[ She Is So Hard-Headed, She Told Me The Nickname That She
     Wanted Me To Call Her By ]
[ I Do Not Speak Spanish & I Did Not Know The Definition ]
[ But I Gave It A Try ]

[ She Did Not Curse @ Me ]
[ She Did Not Slap Me ]
[ She Did Not Shoot @ Me (WHERE DID SHE GET A GUN IN THIS
     STORY?) ]
[ She Did Not Send Her Son Or Her Large Brother After Me ]

[ So It Did Not Offend ]
[ So I Guessed That I Did Not Have My Life To Defend ]

[ When I Say It, Nobody Gets Chafed ]
[ So I Think That I Am Safe ]

[ I Have Learned Through Our Short Friendship That When
     Cavarona Says To Do Something, That Something Gets Done ]
[ Or Nobody Gets A Warm Tortilla ]
[ Or Has Any Fun ]

[ She Says It Means, (HARD HEADED, STUBBORN) ]
[ Well That Hits The Nail On The Head ]
[ It Probably Started, Right After She Was Born ]

[ My Friend Is Solid & Built Like A Tank ]
[ A Couple Of Mystery Men Tried To Treat Her Like A Community
     Bank ]

[ That Was A Hard Sell ]
[ They Could Not Crack That Titanium Shell ]

[ But My Best Friend Will Be Leaving Us Soon ]
[ Maybe I Could Reminisce About Her When I See The Moon ]

[ But That Is Not What Keys My My Memory To That Smile
     On Her Face ]
[ I Know What & Where ]
[ It Will Be My Place ]

[ We Had So Many Long Talks Instead Turning Of The T.V. On ]
[ What Am I Going To Do The Minute AFTER I Am Told That
     She Has Gone ]

[ For Her Memorial She Told Me To Wear My Vans, Shorts &
     A Hawaiian Shirt ]
[ I Just Hopes That Nobody Thinks That I Am Being Disrespectful ]
[ & Knocks My Ass In The Dirt ]
[ I Don’t Want To Get Hurt ]

[ I Hope That Maria Tells Someone That This ]
[ Was Her Wish ]

[ We Talked About That There Was Not A Single Time Where She
     Saw Me Wearing Long Pants ]
[ Not Even A Glance ]

[ No Pictures, No Nothing ]
[ I Can Not Remember The Last Time That I Wore Pants For
     Something

[ My Mind Is Flooded With So Many Thoughts & Words ]
[ Flying Around Like A Big Bunch Of Birds ]

[ So Much To Say ]
[ So Little Time ]
[ What Is The Way ]
[ That I Could End This Story That I Wrote To My Very Best Friend,
     But Make It Rhyme? ]

(1088)▪︎[ Falling … 12•18•2021 ]

[ You Sit There ]
[ Hoping That This Would Help You To Repair ]

[ The Noises That Are Going On In Your Mind ]
[ Because This Is Far From ]
[ Going Dakine ]
[ That Is Something That Your Conscious Mind Has To Tell
     Your Subconscious Mind ]

[ So Sit Back & Relax ]
[ Make Sure That You Take Off Your Mask ]
[ So Your Breathing Is Not Taxed ]

[ Let’s Go ]
[ Into A Place That You Really Don’t Know ]

[ & That Is The Place Of Total Relaxation ]
[ The Opposite Form Of Maxation ]

[ Not Letting Your Mind Go Somewhere ]
[ Because It Cannot Go Anywhere ]

[ So You Sit Back & Wait ]
[ For The Gate ]

[ To Be Opened ]
[ Then ]

[ You Start To Fall ]
[ You Don’t Reach For Your Phone, To Make A Call ]

[ Because Then ]
[ You Find ]
[ That Everyone There, Is Irrelevant ]

[ Except One ]
[ The One Sane Person That Is Not Done ]
[ On This Run ]

[ You Are Still Falling ]
[ In Pitch Black Air ]
[ & You Are Not Balling ]

[ Your Eyes Out ]
[ Because This Little Hour Of Time ]
[ You Have No Doubt ]

[ That You Were Safe & Sound ]
[ From All Sides Around ]

[ The Falling Part You Could Not Comprehend ]
[ Was It Supposed To Lead To A Dead-End? ]

[ Or To A New Beginning ]
[ Where There Is Nothing But Winning ]

[ So What Happened To Nice Guys Always Finishes Last? ]
[ Well That Was With Another Cast ]

[ The One Person In Your Life That Is Always Relevant To You
     In Your Life ]
[ That Is Nicole, Your Wife ]

[ Forever & Ever … Amen ]
[ She Has Always Been ]
[ The (THEN) & The (WHEN) ]

[ Of Your Past ]
[ Present ]
[ & Future ]

(1089)▪︎[ I Can’t Wait … 12•29•2021 ]

[ Oh, Cavarona Cavarona ]
[ I Sure Am Going To Miss Ya ]

[ I Know That Several Weeks Can Go By ]
[ In Between The Days When You Can Stop By To Say (HI) ]

[ The Main Point There Is That You CAN Do That ]
[ But You Can’t When You Are In The State Where Men
     Primarily Wears A Cowboy Hat ]

[ Cavarona You Are Often A Ray Of Sunshine When All
     There Is Outside Is Rain ]
[ Sometimes Your Texts Or Phone Calls Are Able To Wash
     Away My Internal Pain ]

[ You Are Able To Look Inside Of Me ]
[ & You Are Not Afraid Of What You See ]

[ I Have Always Given Credit Where Credit Is Due ]
[ I Give The Credit For My Growth To You ]

[ You Challenged Me Around Every Corner ]
[ I Was Not Able To Hide No Longer ]
[ Like Little Jack Horner ]

[ You Are Able To Lift My Spirits ]
[ You Taught Me To No Longer To Take Any Shit ]

[ Because I’ve Taken Shit For Way Too Long ]
[ You Showed Me How That Was Wrong ]
[ With Your Encouraging Words ]
[ I’ve Been Able To Stand Up & Stay Strong ]

[ There Is Absolutely Nothing About You That I Don’t
     Like ]
[ Before You, I Was Only Able To Ride A Trike ]
[ Now I Have Graduated To Maneuvering ]
[ On An Expensive Mountain Bike ]

[ You Inspire Me With How You Are So Alive ]
[ & How You Always Strive ]
[ To Thrive ]

[ You Know Me Almost As Well As You Know Yourself ]
[ You Have Been The Best Best Friend ]
[ Alot Better Then Anyone Else ]

[ I Will Have To Find A Way ]
[ To Keep Myself From Wanting To See You ]
[ While You Are Away ]

[ I Hope The Best For Your Family, Especially Concerning
     The Health Of Your Mother ]
[ I Know That You Have Really Missed Seeing The Smiling
     Faces Of Your Sisters & Brother ]

[ Wrap Them In A Hug & Hold Them Tight ]
[ Then Step Back & Enjoy The Sight ]
[ Always Show Them Love ]
[ Before You Part For The Night ]

[ Always Know That I Can’t Wait For You To Return ]
[ Because Through Our Friendship I Have Come To Learn ]
[ When I Don’t See That Beautiful Face For A Long Time
     My Stomach Will Burn ]

[ When You Come Back I Will Greet You With Excitement
     @ My Door ]
[ & Tell You That I’ve Missed You More ]
[ Than Ever Before ]

[ & Then I Will Give You A Great Big Hug & Not Let Go ]
[ Because I Always Want You To Know ]
[ I Was Sad That You Went ]
[ But I Do Understand Why You Had To Go ]

[ Now I’ll Be Ecstatic When You Get Back Here ]
[ & Once Again You Will Be Near ]

[ & When You Come To My Place ]
[ You Will See A Big Smile On My Face ]

[ Because You Are Home ]

(1013)▪︎[ Afraid … 12-3-2021 ]

[ You Are Afraid Of How You Would React ]
[ You KNOW How You Are Supposed To Act ]

[ Bold & Strong ]
[ You Are Supposed To Act, Like There Is Nothing Wrong ]

[ This Isn’t A Movie, So You Don’t Have Many Takes ]
[ There Are No (DO OVERS) If You Make Mistakes ]

[ Tears Will Not Be Welcomed ]
[ You Really Should Apologize If You Were To Say Something
     Dumb ]

[ What Do You Talk About? ]
[ You Definitely Cannot Pout ]

[ It Is Well Known ]
[ That If You Pout ]
[ You Are Sent Home ]

[ None OfTheir Family Wants You To Bring Your Dark Cloud
     Into Their House ]
[ It Is Loud ]
[ So Now You Have To Be As Quiet As A Mouse ]

[ Not A Dirty Rat ]
[ But Then You Would Need A Wild Cat ]

[ Then Cats Have Fleas ]
[ They Would Stay Without Saying (THANK YOU) or (PLEASE) ]

[ You Won’t Know How Many Times You Will Be Able To See
     Your Best Friend This Coming Year ]
[ When She Leaves ]
[ How Would You Stop Your Tears? ]

[ If She Knew This, Was What You Are Thinking ]
[ She Would Put You In Your Place, Without Blinking ]

[ She Was (1) Of The Best Things That Ever Happened In Your
     Life ]
[ The Only (1) Who Has Ever Been Above Her, Is Your Wife ]

(1011)▪︎[ Thank You, Best Friend … 12•2•2021 ]

[ You Are About To Lose Your Best Friend & You Do Not
     Know What To Do ]
[ Time Won’t Stand Still For You ]

[ Even Though You Wish Upon Wishes That Time Would Not
     Fly By ]
[ You Know That It Will ]
[ & You Won’t Have The Ability To Ask Why ]

[ Father Time Will Not Halt A Tic Tok For Anyone ]
[ Because Watching The Seconds Fly By Is Not Very Fun ]

[ You Could Be In Denial ]
[ For Awhile ]

[ You Could Sit Down & Take The Battery Out Of A Clock ]
[ Then Actually Feel Like You Put A Halt ]
[ To Your Life’s Real Tik Tok ]

[ That Would Be Denial In The 4th Degree ]
[ How Would That Feel ]
[ Do You Feel Free? ]

[ Your Best Friend’s Body Has Been Taken Over By Cancer ]
[ Some People Say That Everything Happens For A Reason ]
[ Okay, What Is The Reason, When Can I Hear That Answer? ]

[ This Will Leave Such A Void ]
[ In Your Life ]
[ This Is Something That You Wish You Could Avoid ]

[ No One Will Take Your Best Friend’s Place ]
[ That Choice Would Never Be Made In Haste ]

[ No One Will Ever ]
[ You Can Only Wish That Your Memories Could Last Forever ]

[ You Don’t Have A Negative Memory With Your Friend ]
[ There Is Not A Single Event To Defend ]

[ The Sun Setting @ The Beach Will Always Be A Special Memory ]
[ We Did That Twice ]
[ We Were Never In A Hurry ]

[ Time Did Not Matter On Those Days ]
[ We Liked To Sit & Watch The Waves ]

[ That Was When Time Slowed Down ]
[ & The Sun Was All Around ]

[ The Air Felt Warm With Barely A Breeze ]
[ & We Did What We Pleased ]

[ Great Memories In Your Memory Bank ]
[ & You Have Your Best Friend To Thank ]

(1009)▪︎[ What Is This Reason? … 11•30•2021 ]

[ Well That Was Something That You Never Expected ]
[ Was There A Sign That You Neglected? ]

[ Your Best Friend Just Talked To You On The Phone ]
[ & Told You Something That Was Previously Unknown ]

[ You Never Knew That Her Cancer Was That Bad ]
[ It Would Be A Huge Understatement To Say That You Were A
     Little Sad ]

[ A Little Bit? ]
[ Holy Shit! ]

[ It Was A Kick In The Butt ]
[ It Was Also A Punch To The Gut ]

[ You Don’t Want To Feel This Broken ]
[ You Don’t Want Your Best Friend Taken ]

[ She Is So Important In Your Life ]
[ The Most Important Person, Behind Your Wife ]

[ Your Best Friend Has The Biggest Balls Of Anyone That You
     Have Ever Met ]
[ She Has Taught You To How To Have Your Own Big Set ]

[ It Has Helped You & Your Marriage Tremendously ]
[ You Will Miss Her Tremendously ]

[ Your Love & Support For Her Is Off The Chart ]
[ Right Now You Have A Broken Heart ]

[ You Don’t Want Someone Coming Up To You & Tell You That
     Everything Happens For A Reason ]
[ Really? ]
[ WTF Is This Reason? ]

(765)▪︎[ A Cowboy’s Game? Really? … 9•10•2021 ]

[ Today, You Did An Amazing Thing, When Watching A Football
     Game ]
[ You Actually Rooted For A Team, With A Different Name ]

[ Because, You See ]
[ The Cowboys Have Always Been Your Steelers Arch Enemy ]

[ Yes, THOSE ‘Boys ]
[ Yes, This Was Football ]
[ No, Not Toys ]

[ It Is Solely Because Of This Woman, Whom You Call, Your Best
     Friend ]
[ Tonight You Proved To Her ]
[ That You Would Do Anything For Her, Until The Very End ]

[ She Is A Die Hard Dallas Cowboy’s Fan ]
[ & You Are A Pittsburgh Steelers Man ]

[ They Have Battled It Out (3) Times In The Super Bowl ]
[ Beating The Cowboys Was Always The Goal ]

[ But Today You Had To Swim Against Your Stream ]
[ You Pinched Yourself (2) Times To Make Sure This Was Not
     A Backwards Dream ]

[ You Actually Rooted For Them To Win ]
[ All Because Of Your Best Friend ]

[ Don’t Ever Call You A Liar ]
[ When You Say That If You Were Asked ]
[ For Her, You Would Walk Through A Blazing Fire ]

[ You See, This Lady Completely Altered Your Life ]
[ She Told You How To Be Better Father ]
[ & She Helped You, Be A Better Husband To Your Wife ]

[ But Root For The Cowboys To Win, Was A Doozy ]
[ Wish ]
[ When You Rooted For Them To Score, That Made You Quite
     Woozy ]

[ You Actually Got Tongue Tide ]
[ When The Game Started & You Told Yourself What You
     Needed To Do ]
[ You Knew It Was Going To Be A Bumpy Ride ]

[ But It Did Make Sense ]
[ When It Came To Rooting For Tom Brady’s Team ]
[ You Were Never On His Side Of The Fence ]

[ When You Now See That Cowboys Star You Ask ]
[ (I HAVE TO ROOT FOR THAT?) ]
[ Oh Yes, You Were Told ]
[ & You Have To Root For A Quarterback ]
[ Named (DAK) ]

[ You Tell Yourself That This Won’t Be All That Bad ]
[ Their Roster Does Not Make You Feel Sad ]

[ But You Would Walk (10) Miles ]
[ To See One Of Cavarona’s Smiles ]

[ The Love You Have For Your Best Friend Runs Deep ]
[ You Hope That After A Day Rooting For Her ‘Boys ]
[ Doesn’t Keep You From Getting A Good Night’s Sleep ]

(644)▪︎[ You Never Know … 8•1•2021 ]

[ Life Sure Has Its Ups & Downs ]
[ Filled With Some Nice People & A Few Clowns ]

[ You Never Know What You Are Getting ]
[ Some People You Want To Invest Some Time In ]
[ & Others Prove To Be So Unsettling ]

[ Just Like Opening Up A Book ]
[ You Can’t Always Judge One By It’s Cover ]
[ Until You Open It Up, To Take A Look ]

[ Before The ‘VID, Some People Really Did Hide Behind Masks ]
[ Some Do Not Like Being Asked ]
[ To Do Some Simple Tasks ]

[ But Now, People Really Do Have To Wear A Mask ]
[ & If They Do Not ]
[ That Means That They Would Probably Say Something Rude
     Back ]
[ If You Were To Ask ]

[ Yes, Life Is Like A Box Of Chocolates, As Forrest Gump Would
     Say ]
[ People Sure Can Be Dependable Or Difficult ]
[ Depending On The Day ]

[ Some People Absolutely Hate The Beginning Of The Week ]
[ Unless They Have Had Their Share Of Coffee ]
[ You Don’t Want To Go Around Them & Expect Them To
     Speak ]

[ Or As Non-Challantly That Someone Would Cough ]
[ Just Say The Wrong Thing ]
[ & They Will Bite Your Head Off ]

[ Those Types Of People Are Always On Edge ]
[ They Are The Ones That Would Surely Push You Out On
     A Ledge ]

[ Some People You Can Judge The Book By Its Cover @ Times ]
[ Have You Ever Seen The Mugshots Of Some Of The Many
     People, Who Commit Crimes ]

[ The Eyes Can Give Away Most ]
[ Those Are The One’s That Look As Lively As Burnt Toast ]

[ Some Of My Closest Friends Growing Up Gave Off The Worst
     First Impressions ]
[ Later In Our Friendship Is When I Gave Them A Confession ]

[ Of What I First Thought ]
[ I Am Really Glad That I Did Not Make My Decision On That
     Spot ]

[ Good Memories Of Those In My Past ]
[ I Would Like To Meet New People ]
[ That Will Help Me Make New Memories That Will Last ]

[ Around Any Corner There Could Be Someone Amazing To Meet ]
[ Down The Block ]
[ Or Over Two Streets ]

[ I Will Keep My Eyes & Ears Open ]
[ I I Will Wait For That Moment ]

[ To Meet & Make A New Friend … ]

[ When Your Name Comes Into My Mind ]
[ I Always Smile ]
[ Because Each & Every Day You Have Been So Kind ]

[ Please Remind Me How I Got So Lucky To Have You
     As My Best Friend? ]
[ When I Wished That I Could Find Someone To Be Special For
     Me ]
[ I Never Knew That It Would Be Someone Like You That God Would
     Send ]

[ I’ve Always Thought I Was Born Under A Dark Cloud ]
[ I Never Thought That I Would Find A Friend ]
[ Out Of The Crowd ]

[ You Are The Only Thing That Your Agency Got Right ]
[ You Give & Show Me Love ]
[ Every Single Night ]

[ That You’ve Been Here ]
[ Do I Make That Perfectly Clear? ]

[ You Are A Stubborn & No Nonsense Woman Through & Through ]
[ When You Tell Me To Do Do Something ]
[ That’s What I Do ]
[ Because,  Well … ]
[ It’s Because You Are You ]

[ You Got It Backwards Today ]
[ I’m Not Stuck With You! ]
[ It’s The Opposite Way ]

[ We Will Remain In Each Others Lives For As Long As We Try ]
[ & I’m Not Even Close ]
[ To Wanting To Say Goodbye! ]
[ Because The Only Word I Chose ]
[ Was ( HI ) ]

[ Effort Is The Key ]
[ I’m Not Ready For You To Walk Away From Me ]

[ So I Will Text & Text ]
[ To Ask You ]
[ ( SO,  WHAT IS NEXT? ) ]

[ Is It A Reach ]
[ To Still Take A Drive To The Beach? ]

[ I Want To Sit Where Your Dad Sat ]
[ I Want You To Also Remember Me ]
[ When That’s Where You’re @ ]

[ Years & Years Down The Road ]
[ If I May Be So Bold ]

[ That We Will Still Be Close ]
[ But,  Nobody Really Knows ]

[ The Main Reason Why I Worry ]
[ Is Because Many Times I’ve Been Told This Story ]

[ But You Are Definitely Different From All Of The Others Previously ]
[ You Take Our Friendship Seriously ]

[ & You Have Never Made Me Feel Used ]
[ & Abused ]

[ You Have NEVER Asked For A Single Thing ]
[ Alot Of Times ]
[ It Was Lunch That You Would Bring ]

[ Thank You For Earning My Trust ]
[ To Be In My House ]
[ That Is A Must ]

[ I Never Had To Have My Guard Up ]
[ Never Had To Keep Things Shut ]

[ You Showed Me & My House Respect ]
[ But That Was Also What You Came To Expect ]

[ You Never Brought A Purse Or A Big Bag To Leave On The Floor ]
[ I Never Had Any Questions ]
[ When You Walked Out The Door ]

[ Thank You For Always Being There ]
[ Thank You Maria ]
[ For Showing Me You Care ]

[ I Hope I Show It Back! ]
