Valentine

Men may come and men may go But none do I love like my Uncle Joe He boosts my spirits and strokes my ego He's my sweet patootie, Uncle Joe. He tells me I'm beautiful every day Even if, in reality, I'm in disarray He prays for me nightly without fail I know when he does, good things will prevail. So, men may come and men may go But none do I love like my Uncle Joe He boosts my sprirts and strokes my ego He's my sweet patootie, Uncle Joe.

Thank you Anne-Lise. My uncle died last Nov. (2010). He had Down Syndrome, but lived to almost 65! He is now a greeter at the Pearly Gates...E.J.
