WHAT IS HAPPENING??



His sweat glands are in overdrive.
His legs feel like Jell-o.
His heart beats like a runaway drum.
His stomach and intestines are dancing the Tango.
His brain has short circuited.

What is happening?

Simple, he is walking into his love´s arms.

MY TWO ROSES





THEY CAME TO ME FROM DIFFERENT ROSE GARDENS
THEY CAME TO ME AT DIFFERENT TIMES
ONE IS NOW TWENTY-TWO AND IS
A FULLY BLOSSOMED ROSE OF WOMANHOOD
THE OTHER NOW SEVENTEEN IS BLOSSOMING
WITH TENDER PEDALS THROUGHOUT
THESE TWO ROSES ARE PART OF THE REASON
OUR LORD PUT ME ON THIS EARTH
SO I NOT ONLY TO SAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY,
LISSA AND GLORIANN
BUT ALSO THANK YOU
FOR GIVING ME A REASON TO BE

LOVE,
DAD OR PAPI
