Love changes as we age; hopefully our last love is the Velveteen Rabbit kind of love when we are loved for our true selves...when we know our beauty, male or female, radiates outward from within: "It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in your joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand. "The Velveteen Rabbit" I am no longer young nor do I possess the beauty I once had. Extra pounds hide my once enviable figure. I am beginning to exhibit some of the outward signs of the Parkinson's Disease I was diagnosed with ten years ago, but I consider myself one of the luckiest of women. I am loved for myself. All I have to do to be loved, cared for, and adored is wake up in the morning. This is for Max.

Corvett summers was a movie I saw back when I was a kid, I think it was the first real car movie I ever saw. Last night it was on the oldies channel (man that sucks) and it brought back a flood of memories. This is my feelings of the movie, if you haven't seen it,try to. Poem note I wrote the first line then wanted to see if i could take away only one or two letters from the next line but still keep the story flowing as best as i could, first time i tried this. cant say if there is a name for this type of poetry, all i know is that it got tuff in the end.

It came to me one day that when a woman has finally polishes her man up, she finds out he's no longer what she wants. It's also worth not here that when we as people try to change a person in there growth sometimes we mean good, but we are really holding the person in question back. My personal feelings on this poem was the attempt in letting people know how I felt after 13 years of marriage and trying to become the person that would make my wife happy to be with, now that the marriage is over and its been two years later. I feel that I am back on track to becoming the man I’ve always wanted to be.
