She was an angel.
We lost no time connecting.
For us, the Panhandle was an intersection.
I met her in a condo share.
Her friends were happy and fun.
We said nice things as expected.
For us, the atmosphere was one.
We hit it off in so many ways.
Neither was surprised; in such a haze.
Time flew by so very fast.
But, we knew immediately, we would reprise.
On the day I left, smitten as never before.
We promised another meeting, next in Kilgore.
It really happened as promised.
A return visit, so loving and complete.
On the day I left, in love beyond belief.
We promised another meeting, Portland next.
Four days with The Hales of Maine.
Another visit, with deeper love than ever.
I returned for good ... December of 2018.
We are trying it out ... so far, so good
It's May ... hurray!!!
RVing later this month ... swinging thru IA, NE and IL.

Years ago, I chose another.
Sometimes, dreaming about you.
I went through the motions.
You, floating within view.
Weeks ago, I left another.
More often, dreaming about you.
I shook loose the feeling.
Making room to renew.
Hours ago, I found my balance.
Constantly, dreaming about you.
My mind was flooded with hope.
And, a visual montage of you.
Minutes ago, a special pix stood out.
Always in the dream.
It filled me with affection throughout.
Now? Too soon, it is true.
This year I will woo you anew.
While learning the reality of you.
Here's hoping for respect and love.
and, my heart filled with you.

But, there have been a few times for tears.<br />
<br />
Life is full and I've done it all.<br />
But, I wish I could have visited Ireland's Dahl.<br />
<br />
Life is marked by many creative endeavors and they were a ball.<br />
But, why couldn't I have better at 'em all?<br />
<br />
Life is fulfilled by my sons and their brides.<br />
But, I love their five offspring for their special sides.<br />
<br />
Life is many loving companions and each was unique.<br />
But, I often did not appreciate their remarkable chic.<br />
<br />
Life was good as a rover.<br />
But, hey, it's not over.

T'is streaks of happiness; followed by floods of sadness.<br />
I am lonely again.<br />
<br />
Life is frenetic work; followed by calming rest.<br />
T'is spikes of mania; followed by troughs of balm.<br />
I am lonely again.<br />
<br />
Life is filled with creativity; followed by moments of doubt.<br />
T'is fraught with special outcomes; followed by nothing special.<br />
I am lonely again. <br />
<br />
Life is sometimes loving deeply; followed by streams of boredom.<br />
T'is torrents of strong feelings; followed by peaceful coexistence.<br />
Oh, I am lonely again.JimPathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09400962404353126075noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7101155551283256402.post-40158199425250603602016-05-23T19:14:00.000-07:002016-05-23T19:45:14.504-07:00Tommy and Jimmy Were Friends<div style="text-align: center;">
I remember my first memories of the Hale Family Reunions.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tommy and Jimmy were always in the way of the older cousins.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were pals; ignored by 'em all.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I remember running between Grandpa's and Uncle Des' homes. There was food and drink everywhere and the adults were around the dinner table arguing politics, religion and war. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I remember Tommy Quinn; cousin and friend.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He was older and wiser; never lordly, and always good to me. He seemed to be a favorite of my father; easy to have around.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I remember one trip between Mason City and Madelia. We were in the back seat of our 49 Ford Coupe; giggling while laying a trail of Dad's cigarettes all the way from here to there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I remember Tommy and Jane playing tennis with Dad; the laughter was loud and the competition was keen. Dad loved these two young marrieds ; Jane was a special girl in our lives.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I remember Olio Margarine stored in the cooler in Hale's Super Market ... kneaded with yellow dye packets ... special contraband from trips to Iowa ... colored olio was unlawful in Minnesota!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I remember spending many an evening playing cards and board games in Tommy 'n Jane's Madelia homes ... we had a ball .... can you imagine laughter louder than that? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I remember the cousin I sought out first at family gatherings. We had such a wonderful history together as boys and young adults. Tommy and Jane's family always came first; such a beautiful troupe all growing up in Madelia, Minnesota. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I remember a Sioux Falls dinner party with Tommy and Jane. We had you over from Madelia to spend the weekend. Only after the lasagne dish broke in half and spilled onto the orange shag carpet, did we laugh so hard that our bellies ached and our eyes watered beyond belief ... what fun we had that weekend.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And, I remember that Tommy and Jane clearly loved one another ... and the boy and girls that sprung from that love. You have had a blessed life ... thank you for sharing it with Cousin Jimmy and The World. </div>

Trips to Chicago</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I was a boy, I remember trips to Chicago</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They were summer trips to see dad's bother-in-laws and SPORTING EVENTS.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I remember cousins Johnny and Ellenor and Uncle Louie and Aunt Marge.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I remember the Homewood house along the IC Railway.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I remember Johnny's upstairs bedroom overlooking the front lawn. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And, I remember the kitchen where food was aplenty, card games galore and arguments went on into the night..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I was a young lad, I remember coming of age in Chicago.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They were a teenage dream come true.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I remember riding in Johnny's convertible.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I remember our trips to The Indiana Dunes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I remember Johnny's blond girlfriend with a great figure.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I remember her female friends who taught me "the rumble-seat ropes."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I was an adolescent "man," I remember the games my dad loved.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On numerous trips to Chicago, we took the train to Soldier's Field to see the College All Star Game.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I remember the times when we cheered for Alex Karris, Paul Geil, Kenny Ploene, Willy Fleming, Paul Horning and Crazy-legs Hursh.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I remember attending White Sox games and Cubs games .... I once saw a triple play and a few grand slams.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I remember cheering for Minni Minoso, Jim Landis and Ernie Banks!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My father was a "sports nut," and it is genetic!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I was an impressionable teen, Uncle Louie would take me past the jaguar Dealership on the way to his office.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He would promise me that someday I could have one of my own.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hard work was the payment for such a luxury ... I remember wanting one so bad.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I remember visiting Uncle Louie's office at Illinois Bell ... he was so loved by his many employees, friends and co-workers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I remember that he'd finish work early so that we could hop the subway (The El) to Wrigley Park to catch a Cubs-Cardinals game.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Uncle Louie was such a wonderful guy. He loved his sister, Al and the Hale children. I could feel his love. </div>

Gliding along frictionless annual rings.<br />
Never slowing towards our destination.<br />
Gathering age as we go.<br />
How many revolutions will we complete?<br />
Fellow passengers returning to fate’s delete.<br />
<br />
Fellow travelers seeking unique experiences.<br />
Hardly ever being singular events.<br />
Always paralleling other’s good times.<br />
Never peculiar to one’s special character.<br />
How many times together will we thrive?<br />
Fellow passengers being happily alive.<br />
<br />
Fellow travelers in sinc along life’s pathway.<br />
Walking and talking without PC.<br />
Knowing what the other thinks and believes.<br />
We’re also quite sure of what we don’t know.<br />
How much do we have yet to learn?<br />
Fellow passengers being open in turn.<br />
<br />
Fellow travelers seeking love and acceptance.<br />
Beseeching others to see into our heart and soul.<br />
Forever filling them with grace and forgiveness.<br />
Pulling away the cloak of Satin’s selfishness.<br />
How many layers of evil are yet to be pealed?<br />
Fellow passengers will help us be healed.<br />

I will paint a verbal picture of Niagara Falls, one of our natural beauties and a real bundle of sound, fury and sheer energy. Imagine driving up the road to Niagara Falls National Park on a bright sunny day and seeing a plume of what appears to be smoke rising from the river. A big plume! It isn't smoke. It's water spray and condensation rising hundreds of feet above the base of three separate waterfalls located at the end of the Niagara River that empties Lake Erie and eventually feeds Lake Ontario. What a sight! Then, imagine walking over to the edge of a 150-foot cliff right next to these gigantic sheets of cascading water...mind-bending to say the least. There, before your eyes, are millions of gallons of water falling to the rocks below, churning the pools at its base, and creating a never-ending flow of water cascading down towards Lake Ontario. So much power is generated that granite rocks are worn and fractured in years, not decades or centuries. It is a spectacular creation of god's natural forces ... think of what it might have looked like to the first European explorers ... the sound alone must have attracted them to this place from miles away! I am sure the Natives of the area worshipped the "Thunder Gorge" as a special gift from Their Father. We should honor its presence forever.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br />
Now, climb aboard the "Maid Of The Mist" for a trip up close and personal ... she holds 100+ people and she edges right up to the deep spray, say, 50 feet from the falling water. Power! Loud rumbling! Haze! You open your eyes and the spray is so intense as you near the falls that you are hardly able to keep your eyes open to see the water leaping off the ledge and hitting the rocks below ... the spray is biting ... the spray is cold ... the spray is loud to your ears; mixed with the deep rumbling sound of the water hitting water and the pings of water droplets hitting your ear drums...wow, what a feeling of sheer energy flow throughout your senses!!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;">The ship stays there for 15 minutes ... it seems like an eternity. The people stand there with mouths agape ... finally, after a few minutes, they begin to voice their amazement with "This is awesome!" "Really cool!" "Wow, what a feeling!" and "This is spectacular!" I said most of these myself...it's a top 5 experience for me!!!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br />
My legs were weak on the walk up the stairs to the elevator. The experience was sheer pleasure ... have you ever seen something that dwarfs you into insignificance? I now have. It has been three weeks since I saw The Falls and I can still feel its awesome power!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">
<i>My first memory of Gary was of him sitting in our 8th grade classroom smiling
at me as I was introduced to the class in the fall of 1952. I had just
transferred to Holy Family School from St Joseph School across town. We knew
each other from little league baseball in past summers, but I was unaware that
Gary was a student at Holy Family School. It was good to know someone in the
new school. We connected immediately. After school, we walked home together
and, forever after, we were buddies. He was Nolte and I was Whale, right
Nolte??!!<br />
<br />
My most vivid memory…. having Nolte in the grasp of my most awesome wrestling
hold…the “whale grip.” We wrestled a lot after school…on the carpeted floor of
our rec-room. I guess we watched a lot of wrestling on TV in those days! We
tried out all of the Vern Gagne and Gorgeous George “moves” on each other, right
Nolte??!! Hey, I was bigger, so, I could pin him quite easily. He resisted, but
I always won, right Nolte?!?! It was a “guy thing,” I guess….we practiced being
tough…but, we were more often bigger talkers than big toughies, right Nolte!?!?
<br />
<br />
I can still see little ole Nolte scrunched between Peacho, The Whale and the
6’6” Spider in the back seat of OB’s red ‘50 Ford coupe…he was always quart in
hand, and, he was always educating us about all of the important things in
life… like “my Eagle Grove girl is cuter than your Northwood girl!” (and, who
might that be, Nolte?!?!) or “we Germans are far tougher then you pansy Irish”
or “Budweiser is a far better beer than Hamms or Schlitz” or “CinCin works
better than Old Spice to fake out the stupid chaperones at the Hi-Dive” And,
then, a big argument ensued, right Nolte?!?! Remember when you were being
beat-up by one of us in the back seat of OB’s ole ‘50 Ford…. you’d get out of
it by yelling “Hey OB, let’s go to the dance before we get too loaded to see
the chicks, OK?” That got our attention, right Nolte?!?! Wooof, we were quickly
off to the Hi Dive, right Nolte??!! And, remember buddy, this was the really
important stuff for 16-17 year olds, right Nolte??!!<br />
<br />
I remember Nolte on his last day in Mason City before he moved to Polk
Boulevard in Des Moines with his Dad, Mom and family. Wow, the ole ’50 Ford was
rock’ in and roll’ in that night, right Nolte??!! We drove most of the country
roads of North Central Iowa that night … quarts in hand, telling tall stories and
giggling about our small town girl chasing escapades in Algona, Garner, Waseca,
Northwood, Fertile, and Clear Lake….. chasing girls was an art form for the “A
la Straw Gang” (we were named the “lazy ones” by Peacho’s dad!), right
Nolte??!! We were the best gang of friends ever created by man, right Nolte!!??
<br />
<br />
Hey, Nolte! Do you remember drinking my dad’s booze from his liquor cabinet
and, then, replacing it with carbonated water to cover up the crime??!! Hey, we
were good kids, right Nolte?!?! Remember, during these sessions, we learned our
sex ed by reading Dr. Hale’s “3rd Grade Reader” (his OB-GYN Books!), right
Nolte??!! We were “Pre-verts” weren’t we Nolte??!! I think we coined that term
in the mid-50s, right Nolte?!?!<br />
<br />
I remember your wedding in Des Moines….you were so handsome and she was so
beautiful…. We were all so innocent back in those days, weren’t we Nolte?!?! I
know for sure that you were loved far more on that day than any day except,
maybe, on the day of your birth. A mother’s and Father’s love is only matched
by a bride’s love for her man on their wedding day. You felt it, right,
Nolte?!?!<br />
<br />
Finally, I recall New Years Eve day in 1992, in Dillon, Colorado, when Ruthy
introduced you to me as “a friend from California.” I was very polite to you…
Ruthy’s “friend from California” … and we carried on a nice conversation for
10-15 minutes, didn’t we Nolte??!! RaeLynne and I didn’t know that you were
Nolte…swear to God!!!! We learned during this conversation that you had met
Ruthy on one of her many consulting trips to Southern California. We also
learned that you were returning the favor by flying to Denver to take her out
on New Years Eve with two of her friends… us!! You looked a little familiar
but, hey, I’ve met 1000s of men in my 40+ years of Worldwide travel… I’ve met
men in airports, in business meetings and in leisure settings like ski resorts
such as Copper Mountain. I had no clue!!!! Then, you said something about
wrestling… a thing you used to do as a kid…. bing! All of a sudden, it hit me…could
this be Nolte??!!! I said “are you from Mason City?” Ruthy screeched, you
laughed loudly, and Rae and I laughed embarrassingly, of course!!!!! After the
shock wore off, we went on to have a wonderful reunion at dinner and on into
the evening….we never stopped talking and remembering our demented adolescence,
right Nolte??!! I have never forgotten that evening… our friendship and love
for one another was rekindled forever!!! <br />
<br />
And, I know for sure that your friends Peacho, Hoodie, Smackie, Spider, OB, and
Whale are forever your friends… we love you Gary. You were an “A La Straw!” </i><br />
<br />
The “A La Straw Gang”<br />
OB = Mike O’ Brien (a Viet Nam era vet and great buddy to us all; deceased in
1990)<br />
Smackie = Tom Skram (a basketball player and coach extraordinaire; deceased in
2001)<br />
Hoodie = Tom Hood (he owns a pharmacy chain in Southern California and scars
from his braces are still on my knuckles!)<br />
Spider = Mike Allison (a District Court Judge in North Iowa and a tall drink of
Hamms!)<br />
Peacho = Carlos Melendez, Jr. (a 2-tour Viet Nam vet, an officer and gentleman,
and my personal hero)<br />
Whale = Jim Hale (me, Doc Hale’s kid!!)<br />
<br />
Rae Lynne = she has been my wife, friend and true love for 44 years!!<br />
And, Ruthy = Ruthann (Swed) Pidick (a beautiful cheerleader, classmate, mother
and a stellar nurse and consultant in Denver…. born on 3/19/39 like me… but,
she’s older!!)</span></div>

What are good friends? Oh well … let me ponder it … hummmm … they deliver newspapers to you at your isolated cabin north of Toronto in the cool of the August noon when one is sleeping and another is cooking hot dogs over a hot stove keeping from being famished in the chair by the hummingbirds feeding themselves sugar water in preparation for the long flight south to South America. Or, they’re Maggie ’n Peter!<br /><br />What are good friends? I think I get it ... no pondering necessary ... they stop by to say hello and stay for two hours drinking your vodka, wine and rye while chatting about sundry subjects that are of great interest at the time but get lost in the ether of our smiles and happy thoughts sent on to the hummingbirds preparing for their long flight south to South Carolina. Or, they’re Peter ’n Maggie!<br /><br />What are good friends? I am now sure about it ... I am convinced that they are visitors from another world caring for alien beings hidden away in a rocky lake hideaway far from the beaten path of humanity here in Ontario near Apsley where fish are plenty and trees are spiking the blue sky of August colored green with envy and white clouds puffy in the midday sun. Or, they are The Peter ’n Maggie of the tribe “Special People” who love the hummingbirds who are soon leaving for alien places south of Canada! </div>

Life will be really good in a father-built treehouse.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hanging way up there in the middle of the tree.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Climbing its ladder each time will be a thrill.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Building it for your first son is way beyond joy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Preparing many years of father-son love.<br />
<br />
Life is full of camp-outs and sleep-overs.<br />
Laying on sleeping bags and soft white pillows.<br />
Listening to the owls hoot and the squirrels chatter.<br />
Sleeping soundly until dawn bright light.<br />
Experiencing many hours of father-son love.<br />
<br />
Life is exciting when war is waged against it.<br />
Play bullets, arrows and leaf grenades in flight.<br />
Defending the tree fort from enemy fire.<br />
Holding ‘em off until the dinner bell rings.<br />
Having so much fun from father-son love.<br />
<br />
Life is special when dad and son hide there and talk.<br />
Telling stories about bold exploits and cunning.<br />
Using the treehouse for secrets and sharing.<br />
Holding pow-wows about first crushes and ball games.<br />
Getting to know each other with father-son love.<br />
<br />
Life is best when this son rebuilds the treehouse for his daughter.<br />
Showing her how to perform perfect sleep-overs.<br />
Using the treehouse to share boy stories and laughter.<br />
Holding talk sessions about first kisses and coffee klatches.<br />
Extending on the next generation of father-daughter love.<br />
<br />
Life is outstanding with father-child love.<br />
<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">Today, I saw nature displayed on outcroppings beyond Treetops.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">There were mosses, ferns, lichens and mushrooms galore.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">The mosses were varied green mats ... tempting me to recline as natives once did.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">Some mosses arrayed spore cases ... preparing new generations to come.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">The ferns had fiddle-heads and fronds aplenty ... precious enough to be porch decor.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">These ferns arrayed spore cases ... also, preparing new generations to come.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">The lichens were nearly colorless splotches ... rounded symbionts adorning the rocks.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">Some lichens were pale green and others were gray ... drying and flaking away new generations to come. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">The mushrooms were shaped like tams, coolie hats and buttons ... often white, but some brightly colored.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">These mushrooms showed spore-laden gills ... preparing new generations to come.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">Aren’t nature’s displays gorgeous?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span></h4>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>It was a wondrous trip through sun-drenched palisades.</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>I landed at the dock on the north edge of Loucks Lake.</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>It was wooden slats on a float-held frame.</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>I walked up the stairs from Loucks Lake.</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>It was a wondrous climb through shade-draped plantings.</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>I turned and stared out to the ripple-free waters of Loucks Lake.</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>It was a mirrored reflection of a green-hued forest.</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>I held onto the love of my life at Loucks Lake.</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>She was the aura of Treetops on the high-hilled summit.</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>I will come and go from this paradise of Loucks Lake.</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>An ever-repeated trip for my love-filled heart.</i></span><br />

I got off the fast
boat at Treetops.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I walked up the dock
to the stairway at Treetops …<o:p></o:p></div>

a stairway lined with
bright flowers and sugar maples.<o:p></o:p></div>

I mounted the stairs
to Treetops.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I walked slowly up to
Treetops …<o:p></o:p></div>

feeling the love
emitted by the flowers bright and birds feeding.<o:p></o:p></div>

I reached the cottage
landing of Treetops.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I walked to the front
door of Treetops …<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
a passage of warmth
and caress.<o:p></o:p></div>

I walked through the passage
into Treetops.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I received warm
smiles, long caresses and love …<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
a welcome that gives
me calm and patience.<o:p></o:p></div>
