try to understand
if silence decends
they want your arms around them
though words often unspoken
read their soul
as you walk side by side
and winter holds the stars
they want your hand in theirs
they may not say directly
how are you to know
their needs and wants
even after time
as blossoms paint the hills
if signs are missed
take the chance, reach
and do it anyway

Milk and eggs
This is a story which is perfectly logical to all males:
A wife asks her husband,
“Could you please go shopping for me and buy one carton of milk,
And if they have avocados, get 6.”
A short time later the husband comes back with 6 cartons of milk.
The wife asks him, “Why did you buy 6 cartons of milk?”
He replied, “They had avocados.”
