I Am A Sweet Old Softy, But

I Don't Think Much Of Anything I Wrote Before The Age Of 30.

I Am A Sweet Old Softy, But It Took Toughness To Get Through What I Went Through.

I Have Found Having My Dad As My North Star Has Worked Well For Me.

When He Was Born, I Looked At My Little Boy And Felt An Unconditional Love I Never Knew Was Inside Me. As He Grew, And I Watched Him Stagger About, Squeak His First Words, And Turn Into A Beautiful Little Boy, That Feeling Did Not Change.

And So We Stayed Out In The Garden Of The Old House Until We Couldn't Kick A Ball, Laughing In The Gathering Twilight, Making The Most Of The Good Weather And All The Days That Were Left, Our Little Game Watched Only By Next Door's Cat, And Every Star In The Heavens.
