(311)▪︎[ Thank You, Sort Of … 3•26•2020 ]

[ How Do I Thank The Woman Who Has Been My Rock
For The Last 26 Years? ]
[ Is There Any Way That I Can Thank Her For Having
The Shoulder That I Leaned On When I Faced My
Fears? ]

[ I’ve Been With This Beautiful, Patient, Understanding
Woman For Almost Half Of My Life ]
[ I’ve Been Smiling Ever Since She Said (I DO) ]
[ & Became My Wife ]

[ I’m Sure Many Times Since Then, She’s Asked Herself
(I DID WHAT?) ]
[ Those Are The Questions That I Don’t Answer ]
[ So I Choose To Keep My Mouth Shut! ]

[ She Has Been There Through Thick & Thin ]
[ She Was There To Say (IT’s OKAY) ]
[ @ My Lifting Competitions That I Didn’t Win ]

[ She Would Make Me Feel Like I Was One Of Those
Winning Guys ]
[ In Her Eyes ]

[ She’s So Supportive & Has Been A Wonderful
Mother ]
[ She’s Helped Me Through The Dark Times ]
[ Like The Recent Death Of My Brother ]

[ I Know She’s Not Perfect, But She’s Darn Near ]
[ Life Would Be So Empty ]
[ If She Wasn’t Here ]

[ Her Being Here Is Not Something That I Take For Granted ]
[ During This Time I Feel That I Have Do Everything
That Was Demanded ]

[ But I’m Ending This Right Here ]

(370)▪︎[ Love You … 5•6•2021 ]

[ To My Wife ]
[ The One Woman Whom I Said That I Will Love For
     The Rest Of My Life ]

[ When I Said ( I DO ) ]
[ That I Will ]
[ Love You ]
[ Then ]
[ & I Want To Tell You That I Love You Still ]

[ There Is One Thing That I Know ]
[ That It Was Well Over 9,133 Days Ago ]
[ When I Decided That I Could Never Let You Go ]

[ It Would Certainly Hurt The Heart Of This Plain, Old,,
      Ordinary Guy ]
[ If Another Man Could Catch Your Eye ]

[ I Am A Simple Man With Really Simple Tastes ]
[ As I Get Older ]
[ I Am Sorry About My Ever Expanding Waist ]

[ We Are Not The Spring Chickens Anymore ]
[ So We Cannot Dance As Long As We Did Before ]

[ I Always Love Telling New Acquaintenances Our Wonderful
     Love Story ]
[ I Must Have Told It @ Least 25 Times ]
[ & It’s Never Boring ]

[ It Sure Has Been A Bumpy Ride ]
[ I Tell Everyone About Our Longevity With Pride ]

[ If I Had The Choice To Do This All Over Again ]
[ I Would Say ( YES ) ]
[ Again & Again ]

[ I Think The Phrase I Was Looking For Was ( IN A NEW
     YORK MINUTE ) ]
[ Yes, I Will Jump Back In It ]

[ Meeting You Almost 27 Years Ago Was Perfect Timing ]
[ Who Knew That Four Years Ago ]
[ I Would Receive The Gift From God That I Could Write
     Stories That Are Rhyming ]

[ We Have Been Through So Much, But We Stayed
     Together ]
[ We Never Discarded Each Other When There Was A Change
     In The Weather ]

[ Since We Live In Oregon There Are 10 Changes Every Day ]
[ When The Negative People Voiced Their Opinion ]
[ We Continue To Stay ]

[ We Are Good With Hunches ]
[ & We Have Never Resorted To Throwing Punches ]

[ We Never Touch Each Other In An Angry Way ]
[ We Keep Loving Each Other Even Though The Hair On My
     Head Nearly All Went Away ]

[ It All Went Away To La-La Land ]
