(Part Number One)
Written on June 8th, 2016.

"Once But Only Once Upon A Time in Rhyme I Lost My...
"My Life...
"Way back then was as Happy as could be!"
"I dreamed in 'Restful Peace" as Blessed as Blessed....
"Could be...
"Way back (As A CHILD) IN '63...
...
"I Dreamed of a Family and decades passed...
"And slowly, my'Silly Dream' would come true...
...
"Bought and owned my own house in'74, married and had it all...
"I thought..
"Because...
"As I worked 'Like A DOG'
from...
"Nine to five...
"I felt that something...
"Wasn't quite right?"
"And, I would pretend...
...
"And, Night after Night...
"I left for work but for some strange and deranged reason...
"We were struggling? "
...
"Yes, something, wasn't quite right...
"But (You See) it wasn't all me!"
"Halfway through our marrage...
"That something that wasn't Quite Right?"
"As I left to work 'Like A Dog' each and every night...
"There would be a change in life...
"For that something quite not right...
"WAS MY WIFE!"
...
"YOU SEE...
"She was gambling away...
"All that was supposed to be!"
"The house, the taxes unpaid, credit cards mounting...
"As if I wasn't getting...
"Paid!"
...
"Yes, I worked like a dog and became a slave....
"While she left the house and kids a sleep...
"All alone for...
"The Grim Reaper of Slot Machines"would reap!"
...
"Reap the benefits as I worked like a dog...
"Each and every night!"
"No nine to five..
"More like ten to ten...
"Six nights a week...
"Over and over, again...
"And, as sad as this could be...
"I never caught on (til the end) that it was happening to me !"

{ A Dedication}

"Snow coating the pine trees...
"Children's laughter coming from the snows breeze...
"Snowball fights...
"Sled flying...
"Hold on TIGHT!"
"It's Christmas Time and a time to reflect!"
"To gather and realize our many blessings
and realize our self worth...
"And that this is HIS DAY OF BIRTH!"
...
"Spring arrives and it's "Spring Break!"
"Goulashes on...
"Spring rain is pouring down!"
"Get going cause....
"There's puddles needing stomping on "God's Given Ground!"
"Crocuses already arrived to take a peek...
"And, Daffodils and Tulips will be coming next week!"
...
"Summer, Oh, Summer and off to the Beach!"
"No need for lotion...
"Because there's these Amazing Waves coming from...
"The Atlantic Ocean!"
"Taste the Salt in the air...
"And run through that hot Sand...
"And [if you dare} better run fast cause your tootsies are in there!"
...
"And as Autumn arrives...
"Fall into a pile of leaves...
"The amber's, oranges, reds, and yellows...
"What a view...
"As we travel The Garden State Parkway...
"Just me and YOIU!"
