Still Going Strong Even after Five and a Half Decades

This week’s submission features a touchingly beautiful poetic work dedicated to two good friends of mine about to celebrate their 55th (God Bless them!) wedding anniversary, falling on the 1st of June.

To My Dear Friends with Love

Tenderly your arms

enfold me

close against your heart

they hold me

while we move

so ever slowly

on the dancefloor

us two only

to our favorite song…

halfway through the dance

you start to whisper

such endearing words

into my ear

those whispers turning into

trails of kisses

you leave so ever softly

in my hair…

How Blest we are

that even over fifty

years of married life

our love still stands

by The Good Lord’s Grace

as deep, as strong

as when we first began

our wonderful journey

together!

Is There a New Ace in Town?

The New York Mets have a new ace, and fantasy owners have been accustomed to viewing Freddy Peralta as a near-ace for some time. The move to a more pitcher-friendly park should help, but do not overreach, because the reality is that the lineup around him is roughly the same and the bullpen is likely worse at protecting his leads. Peralta has been a standout for years, and slotting him in as a high-value fantasy arm is easy. The question is just how high he should go.
