Thanks to Dixie for this one, she gave me the inspiration. Sometimes a man just needs to be told And shown there’s a future to which he can hold To get a good morning instead of a frown To feel things are happy and not always down There’s times when a smile would heal every hurt Times when the right thing would stop the alert A time when the caring can just walk away Some men try the right things, but what can I say Respect is a big thing when love’s walked away But when too it’s leaving the thoughts further stray For sometimes a man the pain can’t forget And living on memories just brings on regret A man needs to feel that his love is returned And that some respect through the years he has earned A man likes to see that he works to a goal Men need to share life to make them feel whole So smile at good mornings though you might feel low The man is just trying to help the love grow Give him respect, if that’s what he shows For love needs an anchor, or goodbye it goes |

Dear Marge, good to see you here, thank you for your reply, much appreciated. Good on Dixie I say. Dear Susan, it is always nice to hear the other side and thoughts, we are all different and different days bring different thoughts, thank you for sharing yours with me today. Cloud 9, nice to see you here, I am also sure there are very nice women out there as well, but there are many paths and often not much luck, thank you for your reply, much appreciated. Dear Dixie, thank you for the inspiration for this one, was written in about five minutes, sometimes the ones straight to paper are the best, again my friend thank you, I await your next inspirational work. Thank you all my friends. Sincerely Rick |

Rick, you're quite welcome. Yes, straight to the paper is sometimes best...what comes to mind through heart.  |
