(454)▪︎[ To My Good Friend … 5•4•2020 ]
[ To My Maria ]
[ It Feels Like I’m Just Getting To Know Ya ]
[ You Have Been Here A Long Long Time ]
[ You Have Sat There ]
[ While I’ve Read You Rhyme After Rhyme ]
[ Oh I Don’t Know How You Put Up With Me Some Days ]
[ But You Always Find Ways ]
[ To Turn My Day Around ]
[ You Find A Way To Pick Me Up ]
[ Off Of The Ground ]
[ In The Next Month I’ll Have A Different Caregiver Here ]
[ When That Happens I Will Shed Many Tears ]
[ But She WILL NOT Be Here To Take Your Place ]
[ You Are Not Someone That I Can Replace ]
[ You Have Become My Best Friend ]
[ It’s Hard For Me To Realize ]
[ That Your Time As My #1 Caregiver Will End ]
[ Since You Won’t Be Working Here During The Week Anymore ]
[ I Will Still Want You Knocking On My Door ]
[ To Keep Our Friendship Going It Will Really Take Effort On
On Both Sides ]
[ I Will Want You To Take Me For Drives ]
[ We Can Make A Day Out Of It ]
[ I Really Want You To Take Me To Your Dad’s Bench ]
[ That Is Someplace That I Want To Sit ]
[ The Days Keep Marching On ]
[ I Know You Won’t Be Here Physically ]
[ But That Doesn’t Mean You Will Be Gone! ]
[ I Know That I Have To Stay Strong ]
[ Throughout This Mess ]
[ Because What Your Agency Is Doing Is So Wrong ]
[ Maria, Will You Always Be There For Me ]
[ Still? ]
[ I Will Always Be ]
[ For You, Yes I Will ]
[ I’m Your Good Friend For As Long As You Want ]
[ Don’t Say (ME TOO) ]
[ As A Taunt ]
[ You Tell Me What Is What ]
[ You’ve Never Been Here To Kiss My Butt ]
[ You Have Always Been Real ]
[ & That Is How Our Friendship Has Been Sealed ]
[ I Can Never Thank You For All That You’ve Done ]
[ Everyday That You’ve Been Here ]
[ Has Always Been Fun ]
[ Will Our Friendship Continue? ]
[ That Is Up To Both Me & You! ]

(559)▪︎[ I Gained A Friend … 7•8•2021 ]
[ I Entered Into A Friendship Many Months Ago ]
[ With A Young Lady That I Did Not Know ]
[ We Were Quite The Opposite Of Each Other ]
[ I Grew Up With (2) Sisters ]
[ & She Grew Up With More Than ½ A Dozen Brothers ]
[ I Am Quite Short & She Is Quite Tall ]
[ I Don’t Say A Thing About Her Height ]
[ & She Has Never Called Me Small ]
[ We Grew-Up In Vastly Different Towns ]
[ We Grew-Up Probably Saying Different Verbs & Nouns ]
[ Describing & Seeing Things Through Different Eyes ]
[ So Of Course We Had Different Lives ]
[ She Will Find Out That I Am Not An Ordinary Guy ]
[ But Then In November, Fate Put Her In My House ]
[ She Had A Great Interview With Me & My Spouse ]
[ Very Business Like, Is How She Came Off ]
[ We Threw Alot Of Information @ Her During Those Two
Hours ]
[ & She Never Got Lost ]
[ She Came Into Our Lives To Be Our Son’s ABC ]
[ Then She Became A Really Good Friend To Me ]
[ She Started Here Being Extremely Reserved ]
[ I Was A Grumpy Old Man Is How I Was Observed ]
[ Through Time ]
[ She Became The Main Subject Of Many Of My Rhymes ]
[ I Have Found That There Is A Beautiful, Fragile, Hilarious
Woman Under That Hard Shell ]
[ In Everything & Everyday She Does Mean Well ]
[ She Doesn’t Have A Negative Thought In Her Head ]
[ Even Though, I Have Felt That In Her Past She Was Put
Through Hell ]
[ My Heart Hurts When I Have Those Thoughts About Her ]
[ I Am Never Sure ]
[ I Will Never Ask ]
[ I Won’t Take On That Personal Task ]
[ Those Questions Will Stay Behind My Mask ]
[ She Calls Herself An Introvert ]
[ That Could Be Her Protective Armor ]
[ Because Of All Of Her Hurt ]
[ She Is Caring & Protective ]
[ She Is Finding Out That We Love To Give ]
[ That Is Just How We Choose To Live ]
[ We Were Once In Need In Our Younger Years ]
[ When We Give Now, Our Hearts Let Out Three Cheers ]
[ My Friend’s Employment Will End Here Within A Week ]
[ That Is Hard To Say ]
[ So This Story Was Written Because I Wanted To Write
Every Word That My Heart Speaks ]
[ So You See ]
[ Your Protective Armor Was Not Meant To Be Worn For Me ]
[ As This Story Comes To An End ]
[ I Want To Tell Her Thank You For Calling ME Your Friend ]

(527)▪︎[ Friendship … 6•28•2021 ]
[ Friendship Is Not Something That Can Be Explained ]
[ It Is A Subject Where People Have Complained ]
[ This Is Not A Subject That Was Taught In School ]
[ But If You Did Not Learn This, You Look Like The Fool ]
[ Friendship Lines Are Sometimes Set By Race ]
[ Sometimes It Really Does, Go By The Color Of Your Face ]
[ That Is Sad, But True ]
[ This May Or May Not, Affect Someone That Looks Like
You ]
[ Looks Can Affect Everything ]
[ But Sometimes Looks Does Not Mean A Single Thing ]
[ Friendship Is Often Drawn Down Monetary Lines ]
[ Sometimes It Matters To Others If Your Piggy Bank Is
Full Of Pennies Or Dimes ]
[ Some People Can Be Total Bitches ]
[ If You Are Not One Of The Richest ]
[ Friendship Should Be Based On The Person, Not What
Is In Their Wallet ]
[ Or The Coins In Someone’s Pocket ]
[ If You Do Not Know How To Be A Friend, How Can They
Get One? ]
[ If You Are Not Fun ]
[ Would That Make Someone Run? ]
[ To You, Or Away From You? ]
[ If You Knew ]
[ What Would You Do? ]
[ Some Follow & Some Lead ]
[ Some Step Up, In Times Of Need ]
[ When Those That Follow ]
[ Try To Speak ]
[ Do Their Words Come Out Sounding Hollow? ]
[ Or Weak? ]
[ Is It Possible To Teach Someone That Has No Soul ]
[ How To Step Into A Leadership Role? ]
[ @ Times, That Is An Impossible Task ]
[ @ Times, Some People Are Well Hidden Behind Their ‘VID 19 Mask ]
[ School Teaches People Many Things ]
[ How To Read, How To Play The Trumpet ]
[ & How To Group People Together That Sings ]
[ But It Won’t Teach You How To Make A Friend, Though ]
[ Those Kinds Of Life’s Lessons ]
[ You Have To, Grow ]
[ To Know ]

(513)▪︎[ Friends … 5•26•2020 ]
[ Friends Come In All Sizes & Shapes ]
[ A Good Friend Doesn’t Go By The Wayside ]
[ Like Records & Cassette Tapes ]
[ They Are Not Fly By Nights ]
[ They Always Continue To Be ]
[ The Brightest Lights ]
[ Oh Sure, Some People Grow Apart ]
[ As Life Moves On ]
[ The Memories Of Them Don’t Stay In Your Heart ]
[ When They Are Gone ]
[ When You Get To That Place ]
[ In A Friendship ]
[ Where You Would Never Forget Their Smiling Face ]
[ It Is A Wonderful Feeling When You Meet A Person That’s True ]
[ Through & Through ]
[ The Sky Will Be The Only Thing In Your Life That’s Blue ]
[ No More Dark Days That You Dread ]
[ Now You See Nothing But Hope Up Ahead ]
[ But Fake People Can Mislead ]
[ They’d Take Your House & Deed ]
[ If That’s What They Want ]
[ & Need ]
[ The Friends Want Or Ask For Nothing ]
[ That Is Why I Feel So Good ]
[ Giving Them Everything ]
[ Nothing Gets Stolen, Nothing Comes Up Lost ]
[ You Don’t Watch Them Leave ]
[ & Wonder How Much Did That Day Cost ]
[ You Can Turn Your Back & Not Expect A Knife ]
[ To Be There When You Turn Around ]
[ A Special Friend Adds To Your Life ]
[ Good Friendship Is Nothing ]
[ To Some ]
[ & Really Something ]
[ To Those When It Comes ]
[ When Your Best Friend Shows Up It’s Like A Beacon Of
Light ]
[ When She Arrives ]
[ The Clouds Show Sunlight ]
[ Looking Out Over The Ocean & Watching The Sun Set ]
[ With Your Best Friend ]
[ This Will Happen Many More Times, I Bet ]
~ The End ~
[ Mahalo ]
