Summer Days Soakin up the rays
*******’,even a Barney wants to stay
Snag a cool parking Space praise
Hang Loose Lollygag purple haze

Trust me Sand gets in every crack
Small price to pay for where we’re at
Bro Giggle Wiggle into the wetsuit
Stoked Complaints are resolute

I was a clucked, clam dragger, **** dragger
Paddlepuss with sketchy haggar form
Watching for the men in Grey suits
Radical sick, yes too much time in the soup.

Dawn patrol Bro 5am pound the sand
Wax the deck with *** wax brand
Paddle out cup your hand
First wave of the day hang ten stand

Clean wave, no mashburgers Rico  grand
Sunburn fades to a golden tan
Something quick to eat in hand
Plenty of water, flip-flops hot sand

Tricks of the trade change your clothes
At the side of your car Modesty goes far
******, Washing machine, tombstone
PartyWave ,Wipe out, a Kook surfer alone

Summer jobs to support the habit
Summer Loving, beach bunnies rabbit
Surreal Sunset , ankles slappers fun time
At the beaches from Malibu to County line

Our only issue with gas money
Life was righteous cool
Careful not to become somebody’s fool
Ending the season spectacular drool

Careful not to drift too far
Beyond the bluff, Blacks Beach
(****) not for young eyes
Teenagers took a peek or two surprise

Two epic weeks every summer kid trio
Family Camping at Leo Carrillo
Fun at Free Zuma Beach Malibu,
swim the ocean and surfing canoe

Ventura County Line. where the surfers lineup and watch an epic sunrise sublime
Catch the morning waves Blessed days
Were adventure’s I’ll never forget

Surfers live by this Philosophy

Life‘s a beach, love the smell of the sea
Only surfers know the feeling,
No Wave no glory, drugs no thanks,
Surfing is life. The rest are details.

Life‘s a wave, go big or go home
Let your surfing do the talking
Work is for people who don’t surf
If it swells ride, it doubt, paddle out

The ballpark is on fire

And there's a man

In a hospital gown

Directing traffic

Precious Padma
You dearest aquatic flower
You grew in murky waters
Unblemished by its impurity
But come they did
To ****** your petals
And leave you a burning stem
Never can they take from you
The spirit of your plainsong
It continues to grow in your sisters
And in a time and season so near
They will sing your hymn
As one substantial voice
The changing winds will then
Lift it higher

This poem is a poor attempt to share the
Emotions of 39 years, married 41 together through Music, and all that it implies

The one constant besides
Our Love
is
The Dance
We used to dance in the kitchen
to the beat of the music in our heart
Hand -in-hand we’ll never part.

Music make pictures, and often tell stories, all of them magic all of them true all of the pictures and all of the stories
all of the magic
The music is you…(song)
By John Denver

When one becomes two
Holding hands hearts full
Kissing until lips are blue

His Kiss
(The Kiss to long for)
Poem by CJ Sutherland
(My first poem on HP)

“We’ve only just begun
To live white lace and promises start out walking and learn to run
and yes “
we’ve only just begun
(song) by Karen Carpenter

Once the honeymoon stage was over, realization set in
Is this as good as it gets?
Disillusion alone, feelings I couldn’t share

“One is the saddest number
that you’ll ever do
two can be as bad as one. it’s the loneliest number since number one
No, it’s the saddest experience
that you’ll ever know.
Yes is the saddest experience
that you’ll never know”
One is the loneliest number (song)
By Three Dog Night

Our Conversations went from
Yes honey, dear, sweetie, to FU,
Do it yourself, Go alone. It got bad

“Hello darkness, my old friend I’ve come to talk to you again because of vision softly
creeping left it’s seeds while I was sleeping
and a vision that was planted in my brain, still remains within the sound of silence”
(Song ) The sound of silence,
By Simon, and Garfunkel

I left for 18 months heart broken
We talked every day but it
seemed to only make it worse
There was no DEARTH of opportunities
to feel the love I needed

“Its too late babe Now it’s too late
  though we really did tried to make it something inside has died and I can’t hide and I just can’t fake it”
(Song ) It’s too late  by Carole King

It got REAL rather quickly Yet you stayed
Come Hell or High Water
I gave it to God
even when It got hotter

“I had to find the passage back
to the place I was before
relax said the night man, we are programmed to receive
you can check out anytime you like
  but you can never leave”
(Song) Hotel California by the Eagles

Cervical Cancer the big “C”
Nothing like a crisis to bring a couple together we realized how close we were to walking away. We Turned away from those bad influencers and stay true to each other.

In a marriage, couples wax and wane, they grow together and apart, at the end of the day if you know His faults, and he know yours, and you still want to be together nothing can separate you.

“I can’t remember when you weren’t there when I didn’t care for anyone but you I swear we’ve been through every thing there is can’t remember anything we’ve missed can’t imagine anything the two of us can’t do, through the years you’ve never let me down you’ve turn my life around the sweetest days I found, I found with you through the years it’s better every day you kiss my tears away as long as it’s OK
I’ll stay with you”
(Song) Through the years by Kenny Rogers

We held on to joy despite the pain
  whatever life dished out
Whatever drove us insane
We kissed away, all doubt

People ask “what’s the secret
What’s marriage all about?
I’m baffled by this  my reply
“ we’re both to stubborn to quit”

The truth lay somewhere through the years
We made a sacred Covent
between husband, wife and God.
“In sickness and in health
Tell death do us part
He holds my heart

I knew you'd change our lives
My life
A mother's life
The young handsome man
Taking care of her
Taking care of us
His family loved us
Giving us more family
New babies
Never realizing the impact
Until now
The happiness
The safety
Being loved by a new dad
To replace one I never knew
I knew you'd change our lives
And you did...

Because you left
