Wanted to share a poem with you from a good friend. He has a great page with all of his work on there.

The Jersey
Spring evening, dogwoods in bloom
Two gentlemen on an evening walk
both with a bit of grey in their hair
One wearing an old baseball jersey
the other walking with a cane
Both walking close occasional lingering touch shoulder, elbow
Damm he�s still so sexy in my college jersey
The sight always takes me back to our dating days freshly showered, needs something to wear toss him one of my jerseys loved to see my name on him
made me horny
still does
Damm, I should have gotten more
this is last one
don�t want to run out
He hates to use his cane
damp weather makes his leg hurt
On these bad days, I keep seeing how it happened
pickup baseball game with Frat brothers
going for pop-up ball
foot into deep hole, and staying there
seeing his leg shattered almost shattered me
He still sees himself as �a broken man�
especially when using his cane
He�s 300 times better than all other men
Endless times we�ve done this walk
six blocks to the park
I�ve loved every time
even with my cane
Time to be together
out in public
Always thrilled to have him next to me
the sexiest man ever
Still don�t understand why he stays with me
he can have any man he wants
Can smell the cocoanut in his hair
he wants me tonight
Damm he�s still so sexy
love the grey in his hair
Only wear jersey when he�s down
like today
can�t believe it still turns him on
No longer fight his moods
have lived with them for 20 years
I don�t have to be in tears, as in the early years
before he trusts that I�ll never leave
Now, all I have to do is
wear his jersey

Here is a link to his website Savage's Poetry He's a great guy, you'll see when you read some of his poems. I will get to see him here in a little over a month, him along with a few other chat friends that I've always wanted to meet in person. It's going to be a lot of fun.
Had a good weekend. Had a BBQ at the parents for fathers day last night. It was great. Most of the family was there. The ones having trouble weren't so may have worked out better that way. Sad but better. We all had a great time. I ate way too much but it was so good. Played with the baby, he loves me so much. Not bragging just the truth. Played ball with the other kids and spun them around and wrestled them around a bit. Played some frisbee for a while it was fun. Had a good time. Dad did too I think. He's such a good dad. Wonderful man. Loves his kids and grandkids.
Came home and had a really long talk with Boomer. What a guy. Lots of discussion, more to come. Lot's of questions. Oh so want to do this right. Oh so want to follow my heart. He makes me happy. He makes me laugh. Looking forward. Looks good. Head is full today. Kind of emotional.
Watched a movie today "The Notebook" WOWOWOW I cried. I cried a lot. Hate to admit that but I did. Was very touching and wonderful and sad, all in one.
Well enough for now. Hope all is well in your worlds. Thanks for listening as usual. Happy fathers day out there.
Hugs,
SW
