no connection meets connected
a merger begins completely unexpected to both
conversations are endless journeys
anecdotes are educational sessions during indecisive weather
friendship is created and built without judgment
love is discovered and earned the continuance of learning
poems are written by a multicolored pen called Time
twelve years later, we laugh at the love scars decorated with festive confetti
as we sit here holding each other on this moderate spring day,
we tease each other about the silver linings and the touches of grey
then that song by that group starts to play out of nowhere and we laugh joyfully
yes, we did indeed get by.......We Survived.......
Today black wears the fin
For a man who knew how to win
After Broadway Joe proved the AFL was tough
By showing he looked good in panty hose and the buff
Miami put on the heat
Being very hard to beat
Greasing up the mercury on the beach
Super Bowl rings were in reach
Conference was the American League’s new stage name
Bringing entertaining fluff to the athletic game
A colorful peacock style
Captured and confirmed images for the football footage file
Don Shula crossed the grid iron waters
Into South Florida
The original Don
Waved his magical wand
And the tourist paradise caught on
With its oceanic feel
AFC respect was sealed
Mr. Shula we will miss you
And won’t forget your input in the NFL merger issue
ice has no mercy
storms have less of a conscience
disaster when merged....
You are my flower
Sting me like a bumble bee
Reaching far within
In front I can clearly see
The merger of our caress
Russell Sivey
a merger of all that we have found
a mixing together making our love sound
so much better than being alone
a passionate blending makes this my home
you asked if I am sad today
leaving what was yesterday
all that’s being left behind
a structure from another time
we build together a future chance
sealing tightly this romance
your green thumb that makes me bloom
the circle starts and ends with you
adulation our banner
red little hearts and ribbons
a carnival of our love
a merger of hearts
