What Bone’s eyes have seen,
and Bone’s body has felt,
you wouldn’t particularly
want to see or feel.

Bone’s lives with these memories
and that’s a hard,
and tough thing to do.

Bone’s surrounds his self with people.

That helps him
cloud over the memories.

If Bones didn’t surround himself
with other people,
the memories would bring him
to his knees—
a place where Bones has been
far too often.

Bones is more than entitled to borrow a little peace. *S* And the others probably enjoy his company as much as he needs theirs.... This is great, Bobby!

I think many of us do that, Bobby

Bones is lucky to have such close, and good friends. He tries to always be a good friend to them.
