...and 'now' I lay me down to sleep.
Before on more nerves of readers I keep.
And when I arise after getting some 'shut eye'...
I 'may' seek to annoy others with my point of view.
...
As my 62nd birthday approaches...
I will again be celebrating my 31st.
With familiar gratitude.
And with God's hopeful blessing.
...
We've both made choices.
Not once did I question
Those you made.
I never compared your way of life...
...
It doesn't seem like it...
But I'll be 60 soon!
Sixty years
Of some heartbreak,
...
As we move further away,
From the year two thousand and eight.
As is the custom to celebrate it.
There will be more who will come,
...
Is it getting clearer...
For those who fear to be themselves.
They who have entertained disrespect,
To the point where none is left.
...
There are many poems I've written,
That have not been read or 'rated'.
I can understand,
How some may find that a need...
