We were gathered by his bedside. As promised, we were sending him out with laughter and telling our favorite Jimmy Shambo stories.
Crystal brought out the Tequila, and Bodine stumbled in the front . . .

I want to stay in bed today
wrapped in my cotton sheet
Soft pillow tucked beneath my head
Enjoying slumber sweet
I want to stay right here in bed
Where I can keep you near
In dreams you're smiling, . . .

It's almost 7:30 AM, and I've been up only an hour. I've been hitting the hay early and rising late. Seriously early, like 6:30 or 7 PM I've been getting to bed as I cannot keep my eyes . . .

WE DANCE THE SEASONS

Photos by Pops and friends
We dance the seasons
Spring blossoms amidst
Tambourine's jingle
Birds sing the promise of
Summer, endless summer
Camping dancing . . .

You shook your groove thing at Cinco De Mayo for Jimmy.
There you were, worn from the cancer consuming you, yet you showed up at midnight and played with the band just for him.
Jimmy managed to get up . . .

As I seek peace and love and light
I wonder why the soldiers fight
When sent to battles not their own
In distant places far from home
A mother prays for peace somewhere
Neath shell and mortar's glowing . . .

This week has been terrible
Wonderful and tragic
Death took my dear friend's hand
Lead him to the magic
From Sunday to Saturday
Grieving laughing weeping
Life in a tie dye fog
Something like walk-sleeping . . .

It was an honour to care for you, my friend.
Tho you could hardly talk,
Your eyes spoke volumes
As we smiled and "remembered the time"
It was my privelege to gently
rub your tired flesh . . .

Saddam Hussein is dead
Prayer hanging from his lips
Midst cheers and chants from men
Saddam Hussein is dead
My stomach twisted sick
The moment that I heard
Before a pondering thought
My . . .

I feel lost I feel caught 'tween
this life and some other
Too fuzzy can't focus
on you right now lover
I'm right here but I'm not
only here I'm out there too
Stop talking hush baby . . .

The sun has set for you, my friend
You linger in colorful splendor across the sky
As we look to see you one last time
The blazing glory of sunset is the beauty you leave with us
Shining red yellow purple . . .

I just watched Tuesdays With Morrie.
It was a very good movie, but not one to watch when you're sad.
It made me cry. Too close to home, I guess. Plus, I was commemorating a . . .

Woke up today with death on my mind. Rather, how to avoid doling it out.
Allow me to explain.....
Last evening I was thinking about all those poor folks who have to kill for a living. Soldiers, . . .

Today, as the snow studded wind gusts
unmercifully about the roses
Tearing petal from stem with it's harshness...
This springtime squall
My thoughts are turned to you
Thoughts of sunshine and of . . .
