- How I See You Dan -

Once upon a time .... A little boy was born He cried when he was born as most babies do It was a nice little boy named Dan He was born into an ordinary family Mother, father, siblings, grandma and grandpa Soft blankets and a crib to sleep in Unfortunately, not always real life as an adventure Family life was not a bed of roses The boy Dan got a new mother and father A hard time for a young boy Feelings of betrayal and loneliness But he got much love of his new family As the years went by he accepted his life His teenage years, I will not say much about Dan was like most young people Most often kind and helpful but also a little naughty as boys are Looked after the girls and went happily to a party At the end of his life as a teenage he had a special eye for a pretty girl, who later became his faithful wife. They were so young both of them, but their hearts had decided. One day they gave each other: "YES, I WILL" November 2011 I met Dan Yes, I met him here in P-Soup He was one of my first friends here Always a smile, nice and caring I was looking forward to his word We have become "f.e.f." - Forever friends! Dan is a man who allows himself to be sensitive Yes, he can even cry Thoughtful, afraid of hurting others' feelings He likes a little flirt .... but loves his wife Dan and I traveled together to the "Land of Happiness" in the words of the poem, rhyme of course Dan is the expert on the rhyming (I'm hopeless) A poem from Dan to me, hanging on my wall with ribbon on If I mention the word: Pizza .... I think it is more than me who knows it, he LOVES pizza!! However, he HATES to shovel snow Dogs are man's best friend, just ask Dan Have a beer and a weekend trip with the guys is also something he appreciated Dan you are good as gold and it is not bull**** I love you as my dear friend Wishing you all the best A big hug from me to you: "f.e.f." !! 01.10.2013 A-L Andresen :) Copyright © All Rights Reserved Sponsor:Dan Kearley Contest Name :"Who Am I" (1st place in the contest)
