(326)▪︎[ To My Nicole … 2025 ]

[ Goodnight ]
[ To The One That You Absolutely Hate To Fight ]
[ But Who Is Your Light ]
[ That Shines Like A Beacon ]
[ Nice & Bright ]
[ For You When You Feel Like A Frightened Little Boy ]
[ In The Middle Of The Night ]
[ Searching For Jesse, Not A Toy ]

[ She Is The Drops Of Rain That Make The Flowers Grow ]
[ She Is The Warm Sun ]
[ That Comes Out & Chases Away The Black Clouds That Sink So Low ]
[ Letting Us Come Out Of Our Houses To Play & Have Fun ]
[ Even Though ]
[ Your Run ]
[ Has Become Really Slow ]

[ She Is The Moon That Rises High Up Above ]
[ So The World Is Not Dark ]
[ She Is The One That Has Been The First Woman To Show You True Love ]
[ & The Only One That Left Her Mark ]

[ On A Truly Broken Heart ]
[ That Through The Years ]
[ Was Torn Apart ]
[ By Many Days That Caused You To Shed Tears ]

[ Because Of Many Broken Family Ties ]
[ The Word “Family” ]
[ Has Been As Bad For Your Health As The Oil That Cooks McDonald’s Fries ]
[ From What You Could See ]
[ Families Are Full Of A Bunch Of Lies ]

[ Family Feels So Much Better When You Get To Choose ]
[ Whoever You Want To Be In Your Inner Circle ]
[ You Can Never Lose ]
[ When Your People Love To Play The Game Called “Quirkle” ]

[ She Taught You How To Spot The People That Are Fake ]
[ The Ones That Never Give ]
[ & Only Take ]
[ She Has Been A Good Sport ]
[ As You Have Tried To Teach Yourself How To Bake ]
[ Without Having To Drink Down The “Pepto Bismol” By The Quart ]

[ She Is Quite The Lady ]
[ & A Great Cook ]
[ She Never Approaches The Word Shady ]
[ Later On In Your Life, Maybe She Will Help You Gather All Your Stories So You Can Make Yourself A Book ]

[ Even Though She Is Extremely Busy She Does Slow Down To Be Your Biggest Fan ]
[ When You Are Writing She Never Pushes You For Perfection ]
[ But She Does Want You To Do The Best That You Can ]
[ Then She Will Always Come Behind You To Make Any Grammatical Corrections ]
[ Only Since She Has Been By Your Side, Have You Felt Like A Complete Man ]

[ The Relationship You Were In Prior To Meeting Her, Gave You Quite The Emotional Beating ]
[ That Woman Left You In Such Financial & Emotional Distress ]
[ Ever Since Your First Greeting ]
[ Little Miss Satan In A Dress ]
[ Was Always Cheating ]
[ Causing Quite The Mess ]
[ Because The Problem Kept Repeating ]
[ But She Never Learned When Or How To Confess ]

[ Then You Took Your Chances On Waiting ]
[ Before Jumping Back Into That Unpredictable Social Game ]
[ Called Dating ]
[ But Then Nothing Was Ever The Same ]
[ After You Started Saying ]
[ Nicole Marie’s Beautiful Name ]

[ You Never Knew That Your Hardened Heart Could Melt ]
[ After Literally Figuring Out What The Word “Love” Really Meant ]
[ & Becoming Comfortable How True Love Really Felt ]
[ Since All Of Your Past Relationships Put Together Never Made A Dent ]

[ When You Finally Found The Right Woman That You Thought Would ]
[ Become Your Wife ]
[ You Decided That You Should ]
[ Cutout All Of The Meaningless Strife ]
[ & Then You Finally Could ]
[ Put Everything Else Behind You & Settle Down Into A Wonderful New Life ]

(132)▪︎[ Just A Word … 2025 ]

[ P.E. ]
[ This Is What I Have To Say To You, From Me ]
[ Sometimes Your Mind May Not Feel Like It Is Totally Free ]

[ Of All The Gunk & All The Clutter ]
[ There Must Be Days When You Feel Like You Are Walking Through Streams Of Butter ]

[ The Kind Of Butter That Clogs Your Arteries & Veins ]
[ There Will Be Days Where There Are Headaches ]
[ Like The Ones Where You Feel Like You’ve Been Hit By A Couple Of Southbound Trains ]

[ Southbound, Northbound, Coming From The East ]
[ To The West ]
[ There Is No Direction That You Like The Least ]
[ There’s No Direction That You Like The Best ]

[ Those Are The Times Where You Lean On Friends That Are Near & Far ]
[ Even On The One That You Won’t Ever See By Driving A Car ]

[ I Imagine That Sometimes Those Pretty Eyes Can Seem Like They Look Through Someone ]
[ The Kind Of Look Where They Think That You Are Telling That Person They Are About To Be Number One ]

[ On Your Short Shit List ]
[ They Are The Ones That You Really Want To Give The Finger To ]
[ But Instead, You’re Telling Them To Fuck Off By Blowing Them A Kiss ]
[ Because You Don’t Want To Be Rude While You’re In The Public View ]

[ Oh P.E., If You Only Knew The Sunshine That You Bring To All Of Those Around ]
[ You Have Such Pretty Eyes ]
[ That Some Men Can Only Take Looking @ Them For So Long Before They Have To Look @ The Ground ]

[ That’s A Different Perspective, That Is Something New ]
[ You Don’t See That ]
[ Because You’re Not Looking @ It From This Point Of View ]

[ Once Again, You Found The Love Of Your Life ]
[ & He Turns Out To Be A Very Smart Man ]
[ Because Mike Asked You, If You Wanted To Be His Wife ]

[ Not Too Many Men Find The Day ]
[ Where They Can Catch Up To The One That Previously Got Away ]

[ Do You Expect A Man Who Respects You Fully? ]
[ Mike Seems To Have A Good Head On Those Broad Shoulders ]
[ & He’s Not A Bully ]

[ You Are Loved By Many, But Truly Loved, By One ]
[ I Can Imagine That Once He Saw You Again ]
[ His Single Days Were Done ]

[ A Smart Man Would Treat You Like The Queen That You Are ]
[ I’m Not Saying Go Out & Buy You A Car ]
[ I’m Saying That His Love Will Be So Obvious, That People Will Know & See It From Near & Far ]

[ It Is Not About The Gifts That You Will Get ]
[ That Will Show That Mike Will Treat You Like A Queen ]
[ He Will Have To Have A Particular Mindset ]
[ That He Will Either Treat You As One, Because There’s Nowhere In-Between ]

[ Either Mike Doesn’t Know Or He Does ]
[ That You Don’t Give Flowers To Your Significant Other Only After An Argument ]
[ You Buy Gifts & Send Flowers Just Because ]
[ & You Never, Ever Tell Her How Much Money You Spent ]

[ In The True Give & Take Relationship, Nobody Is The Number One Boss ]
[ When There Is A Shift In The Power ]
[ The Powerless Feels Nothing But Loss ]
[ Minute By Minute, Hour By Hour ]
[ You Won’t Have Any Idea The Emotional Cost ]
[ That Will Turn The Relationship Sour ]

[ Relationships Don’t Grow Only During Good & Happy Times ]
[ They Grow During The Darkest Days ]
[ When There Are Mountains To Climb ]

[ In Marriage There Is No Such Thing As Participation Trophies ]
[ When You Are Inactive ]
[ Don’t Always Take Selfies ]
[ When You’re Reactive ]
[ Only Get Out One Of Your Comfy’s ]
[ When You’ve Been Proactive ]

[ Advice About Longevity Can Vary From Couple To Couple ]
[ Communication, Patience, Understanding & Forgiveness ]
[ Should Be In That “THOUGHT” Bubble ]

[ I’ve Always Said “MARRIAGE IS THE HARDEST JOB THAT YOU COULD EVER HAVE” ]
[ “BUT THE MOST REWARDING” ]
[ When You’ve Got (2) Like Minded People, It Will Cut Your Problems In ½ ]
[ & Keep Your Life Less Stressful & Not Boring ]

[ P.E., You Are A Once In A Lifetime Shooting Star ]
[ Your Inner Beauty, Personality, & Character ]
[ Puts You In Front Of Other Women, By Far ]

[ You Have A Good Soul & A Kind Heart ]
[ That’s Why You & Mike ]
[ Were Never Meant To Spend The Rest Of Your Lives Apart ]

Mahalo,

(1216)▪︎[ My Friend Is Hurting … 2023 ]

[ Your Good Friend Is Really Hurting Right Now ]
[ You Want To Comfort Her ]
[ But You Don’t Exactly Know How ]

[ Maybe Her Life Feels Like It Is Going In Slow Motion ]
[ Or It Is Going Up & Down ]
[ Like Being In A Boat, Riding The Waves Of The Ocean ]

[ You Can’t Seem To Give Her Any Empathy ]
[ Because You Don’t Exactly Know How She Feels ]
[ You Don’t Want To Show Apathy ]
[ Because You Are Not The Cart That Lost It’s Wheels ]

[ The Wheels That Helped The Cart ]
[ Go ‘Round & ‘Round ]
[ Now It Feels Like Whenever She Gets Up To Start ]
[ It Grinds To A Halt In The Ground ]

[ She Feels Like She Lost Her Purpose In Life ]
[ For The Longest Time ]
[ Part Of Her Role Used To Be Being A Wife ]

[ She Is Not So Sure ]
[ That She Really Has A Role In Society ]
[ That Would Define Her ]

[ On One End ]
[ She Is A Stabilizing Mother & Grandmother ]
[ On The Other, She Is My Close Friend ]

[ You Have Always Needed ]
[ A Strong, Level Headed Force ]
[ & The Advice That Never Goes Unheeded ]
[ Helps To Keep You On Your Life’s Course ]

[ She Doesn’t Judge ]
[ You On What You Do ]
[ But Her Opinion Won’t Budge ]
[ After She Gives You A Clue ]

[ Sometimes She Would Give You A Look Of Concern ]
[ Instead ]
[ You Guess, Because She Might Have Thought That You Wouldn’t Learn ]
[ If She Slapped You Upside Your Head ]

[ Your Friendship With Her Began Before Your Marriage Even Thought Of Starting ]
[ She Did Not Hold Back Any Of The Words ]
[ She Wanted To Be Imparting ]

[ Your Friend Would Come To Your Rescue Whenever She Found ]
[ You Face Down ]
[ On The Ground ]
[ Floundering ]
[ All Around ]

[ She Never Stood Back ]
[ & Had A Laugh ]
[ She Never Verbally Attacked ]
[ She Did Not Ever Track All Of Your Failures On A Graph ]

[ Because There Would Be Quite A Few ]
[ Whenever She Hears That You Might Have Stumbled, She Would Think (WELL, THAT’s NOTHING NEW) ]

[ You Want Her To Know That When It Comes To You, Her Purpose In Life, Is Vast ]
[ When She Gives You Love, You Know That It Will Last ]
[ This Friendship Continues To Be Part Of Your Future ]
[ Not Just A Part Of Your Past ]

[ Everyday ]
[ You Realize That There Is No Way ]
[ That You Can Take All Of The Pain That She Has ]
[ Away ]

[ You Know That You Don’t Have The Power ]
[ To Make Her Pain Go Away For A Single Minute ]
[ Or For An Hour ]

[ You Thank The Big Guy That Resides Way Up Above ]
[ The Biggest & Best Thing ]
[ That You Can Do For Your Friend, Is To Shower Her With Your Undying Love ]

[ The Least Thing That You Can Do ]
[ Is To Tell Her How Much She Means To You ]

[ Well … Maybe You Just Did ]

[ I Love You Lots, Rita ]

(To My Beautiful Wife …)

[ I Often Think About The Nights When I Talked To This Stranger ]
[ Everything Was Friendly ]
[ Then One Day I Thought My Heart Was In Danger ]

[ The Stranger Eventually Became My Wife ]
[ There Were Many Times That She Saved My Life ]

[ Figuratively ]
[ & Literally ]

[ My Life Was Stuck In Neutral, When We Met ]
[ I Was Sad Every Night Whener She Left ]

[ We Would Talk For Hours About Real Life Things ]
[ About Happy Moments ]
[ & What In Your Life Really Stings ]

[ She Checked Every Box On The List Of (SHE MUST) ]
[ @ The Start Of Our Friendship ]
[ Romance Wasn’t Just ]

[ It Did Not Fit With Me Yet ]
[ I Could Not Fathom How Far This Union Would Get ]

[ 26.5 Years & Still Counting ]
[ Problems Will Always Be There ]
[ They Are Not @ The Moment Mounting ]

[ It Is A Wonderful Feeling Knowing That You Get To Wake-Up
Next To Your Best Friend & Partner All In One ]
[ The Bad Times Are Hard ]
[ But The Good Times Are Alot Of Fun ]

[ We Give Alot More Hugs Than Bump Heads ]
[ She Helps Me Remember, Dispense & Purchase All Of My Meds ]

[ I Remember The Days When I Thought That All We Would Be Was
Good Friends ]
[ This Definitely Is Not One Of Those Dead-Ends ]

[ I Am Not Saying To Run Out & Date Someone From Your
Inner Circle Right NOW ]
[ It Worked For Me ]
[ But I Can Not Tell Anyone A (WHY) Or A (HOW?) ]

[ It Just Worked ]
[ She Married Me & My Quirks ]

[ I Don’t Ever Leave The Seat Up Whenever I Use Her Toilet ]
[ Whenever She Goes In After Me, I Want To Tell Her She
Has No Need To Fret ]

[ I Don’t Have Caveman Manners Or Grew Up In A Barn ]
[ There Will Be No Screams From Downstairs ]
[ Unless Someone Hid The Yarn ]

[ The Big Things Are No Longer A Big Deal ]
[ Because The Person Beside Me Is Real ]

[ Dating A Good Friend Does Not Always Work Out ]
[ It Usually Is Filled With Many Days & Nights Of Doubt ]
[ But Don’t Pout ]

[ Love Can Find You When Your Back Is Turned ]
[ But Many Times Someone Gets Burned ]

[ You Could Say That In The Bigger Scheme Of Things ]

[ He Is The Peanut Butter, To Her Jam ]

[ Whenever Roosevelt Is Near, She Gets Weak In The Knees ]
[ Whatever Decision He Makes ]
[ She Agrees ]

[ The Smile On Her Face Tells Me That She Has So Much
     To Say ]
[ All About This One Man That Has Been Nicknamed (TREY) ]

[ Not The Kind That You Serve Food On ]
[ Dani’s Trepidation That She Had About The (C) Word ]
[ Is Now, Long Gone ]

[ Until Roosevelt Came Along, There Had Never Been A Man That
     Dani Would Trust With Her Heart ]
[ Now She Does Not Like The Hours & Minutes When They Need
     To Be Apart ]

[ I Had Never Heard A Man Call My Friend (BABY) ]
[ If I Would Have Asked Dani If This Would Have Happened (9)
     Months Ago ]
[ She Would Not Even Give Me A (MAYBE) ]

[ Sometimes I Rub My Eyes To Convince Myself That This
     Was Happening, Before My Very Eyes ]
[ When They Exclaim Sweet Nothings ]
[ Neither One Is Telling The Other One (LIES) ]

[ Roosevelt Seems Like A Good Man With Strong Convictions ]
[ From What I See, He Is Now Dani’s New Addiction ]

[ Dani Has Never Been Seen Here With A Man On Her Arm ]
[ Besides Me ]
[ She Trusts That This Man Was Not Going To Cause Her
     Any Harm ]

[ I Told Dani In The The Past ]
[ That Our Friendship Would Last ]

[ Dani Has Had My Back On Many Occasions ]

[ Followed With Explainations ]

[ Dani Has Always Marched To Her Own Beat ]
[ But Now She Figured Out That Roosevelt Makes Her Feel
     Complete ]

[ Everytime That They Are Kissing ]
[ Dani Has Finally Found Out What She Had Been Missing ]

[ Dani Has Always Looked Head-On @ Her Fears ]
[ (NOW) She Has Figured Out How Nicole & I Have Lasted
     Over (25) Years ]

[ Does She Still Make That (THROWING-UP) Sound ]
[ I Am Not So Sure It Would Be The Same, Since Roosevelt Has
     Been Coming Around ]

[ When You Call Him (TREY) It Is Not Because There Are Only (3)

[ He Is Also A Bright Light ]
[ That Never Goes Dim ]

[ Roosevelt Has Never Needed To Whisper A Single Day Of
     His Life ]
[ I Guess Dani Knows, If He Hangs To The Left Or To
     His Right ]

[ I Count Three Words That I Can Describe Him When He Is
    Here, They Are (RESPECTFUL), (QUIET) & (HUMBLE) ]
[ He Seems Like A Really Soft Spoken Man, Who Does Not
     Mumble ]

[ Roosevelt Seems Like A Very Special Find ]
[ Dani Loves When Roosevelt Walks In Front Her ]
[ So She Can Stare @ His Behind ]

[ Roosevelt & Dani Are Always Welcomed In My House ]
[ I Am Sure That Goes Double From My Spouse ]
