I
have to assume it is so, that I have a very limited audience
Some of them, too might not understand me in all my sugar-
Coated enthusiasms, positivities, words of hope and love and
Happiness that not everyone shares anyway! As Joe Dressner
Asked Mike Martin about me : “ Is he always this happy, always
This way? “ and Mike later told that he responded : “ yes. “ so
It be true, yes, I always see the silver lining in every situation,
Mine today was that when my blood pressure was taken earlier
I was told to my utter delight that it was “ good”. Sometimes
That is all it takes to make my day better, and so far it has as
After my eye doctor’s appointment to check on my left eye
It’s retinal wall healing and removing the hole, that my walk
Around our cul-de-sac on a bright sunshiny day before noon
With my wife and our dog was “ glorious “, even wit my
Shades and dilated eyes and all - “ magical! The sun reflecting
Off the sheet of snow on our lawns, and two beautiful neighbor’s
Girls sledding down one of the sloped front lawns and coming
Quick to a thud and crash sharp sounds as the plastic of her sled
Hit the shiny black crumpled asphalt mostly now exposed pave-
Ment on our cul-de-sac, the two connected to a most unceremonious
Meeting of their parts, giving us all a laugh and start as we realized
That all was okay, and she got up and off the ground and walked to
Get ready for their two-hour delayed school opening! And so yes,
I do sound like a broken record, I know and admit it, but these are
Pressing issues and messages I want to convey as a mature white
Make, ashamed of what many mature white males have done and
Gotten away with, not even publicly been called out for, SO, I say
To you, just like on a turn table with a record playing on it, be it a
45 or 33 RPM, just pick up the needle and move me along, or turn
Me off completely! Whatever, know I love you and only mean well!
