For years we’ve said “I love you”
-as casual parting goodbyes.
And now we confront how taboo
-it’s become and all that it implies.
Must we kill this love and let it die
-to keep our friendship true?
As for me how much more will I
-shirk our mores to shout “I love you!”

From my 14-year-old sweet daughter!
“I have made prints of my little feet,
So you can remember when I was so small and sweet,
I will grow as the years go past,
But my love for you… will always last.”
We have a rooster named Rhett
He’s never been much of a pet
Used to have a bunch of hens
Gathered around in the pen
All day long he’d strut’n crow
Really put on a good show
All the hens were impressed
They felt safe in their nest
Then the critter came a prancing
The hungry Fox kept advancing
Swiftly pursuing his females
And did Rhett try to prevail?
Now the rooster named Rhett
Has a different mindset
He’s missing his girlfriends
Gone like so many whirlwinds
‘Cause when it comes to tending
And then to defending
He’s just a lonely screwball
A scared chicken after all

Racing to the E.R. really bites!
‘Cause she took a header on the ice,
landed on her back to be precise,
and her wrist now pays the price.
So when it’s cold and slippery,
carefree walking leads to misery,
and if you move too briskly,
you end up special delivery….

He came to us in hour of need,
and on the cross, He died indeed,
all our sins laid bare,
once for all redeemed us there.
And now today He rose anew,
death and tomb, He passed through.
Hitherto lost were we,
He paid the price; now we’re free.

She wants to have him cut, he’s been pissin in the hut!
I opined: “He’s just markin’ his spot…. what’s the upshot?”
She said: “I just want you to reckon, this needs a correction!”
I said: “If you cut him he’ll get fat and slow”.
She said: “If we don’t he’ll have to go!”.
Then I offered: “I’ll do whatever training it takes, to let him keep his grapes!”
And she countered: “Show me what you can do, I won’t slice through…”
But if there’s a split decision, and there has to be an incision;
A dog is not man’s best friend!

Compare with me all ye men, if you are so bold –
See my beautiful bride of 37 years, and who could foresee?
Her passion for me is more valuable than all Alaska’s gold!
Could the rivers of time quench her love for me?
Never has anyone shown more grace, than she to me!
Her fervid love endures – and can I ever repay?
If ever a woman deserves to give me less, it is she!
Why does she tolerate my transgressions, why does she pray?
May heaven reward her beyond measure!
