smart, witty, solid, real, careful, mindful, my kind.<\/p>\n
Yeah, that’s my man. That smile, that laugh,<\/p>\n
the frown in focus, the sadness, shoulders, hands,<\/p>\n

so much so soon, and unafraid to truth,<\/p>\n

all our hurts, one long touch at a time,<\/p>\n
and the wrap of his arms is home again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
