Jeez, get some guts?
But it’s more than that, I
needed prayer. Before I even
knew it I needed prayer.
To be the kind of truth-sayer that
could produce the sooth
to sooth the soothing sometimes
cumbersome inkling to love—
Tell her!!
I grew up confused, divorce
was not a ruse, a microchip burst
when at six o’clock I didn’t
see Dad first… so I dreamed all
my dreams alone.
Finally someone got in there,
it was a pro paid money to
get in there—it was super cool
though how he did it—he
did it with soul and care,
not like a robot being paid to be there.
I love life, but this love
must have the courage to be true
if ever you’re to have a wife.
Chuckle and laugh—that’s
okay today… but from pro’s
or honest friends, or priests or
doctors do not stray.
There may be help, and with
dating we all need it because
guess what? It’s a challenge
for every single one of us, adult
and child alike.
So welcome to the club young people,
ask for help and do right!!!

Was just thinking about how tough it was to express emotions back then, and, really, still is. But now we can just put it all on the past and pretend like we’ve grown up – though we’ve still got much to learn… We go along with what we have. We never really start or finish.
My newest friend just died. He was 72. Just got to know him. He learned my name. And my daughter’s name. He listened and remembered. He said, Hi, Rob – and even if that was all he said to me it was enough. I learned a lot from him… I want to reach out to people and remember their names and share some life together…
Peace&Love
Sorry about your new friend, and I’m glad you and he impacted each other! A good movie that represented that was “In Her Shoes” with Cameron Diaz and Shirley McClaine. Check it out, and keep making that effort and impact One day at a time!! Higher Power is helpful as we step into service; a concept that gives us energy to do good, and the knowledge to know when to back off and let the Universe work… –Love, William:)!!
