Remembering ‘74 I remember when you were soft and wonderful beneath the lithe, suppleness of youth, and everyday we fell in love again, exploring ourselves, learning things we never knew. Today you’re soft and wonderful everywhere, in layers you never had before, and though we may not fall in love again, every day, I love you every morning, in the evening when we say goodnight – I love you in a way that gets stronger and stronger every time you look my way, you touch my hand; I love you as if you were still lithe and supple, and we were learning things brand new, I love the changes, the wrinkles, every strand of gray, the years, the layers, every day I open my eyes and see you there. I remember when you were soft and wonderful – I remember . . . I remember, and I love you, today. wesley james beard, jr. (c) feburary 2004 |

(big angel hugs) God Bless You, sweet Jimmy, this made me cry as this is soooooo sensitive and loving as your golden heart always is and there is nothing more precious than young love which I still dream for so much! (smiles) May true happiness always shine in your heart each day like it's '73, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Jimmy, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "You'll find something that's enough to keep you |

I feel that you speak the truth and this truth is so beautifully expressed! Ahhh, if we could all see beyond the exterior signs of time and love them even for what they represent, a lifetime of love and caring. You are a beautiful soul. Love, Margherita |
