Once a man...twice a child

If you were walking by, and saw them...your first thoughts would be...'Boys and their toys'
....and then a second look....'Old boys and their toys'
But I took the time to pause...and be assimilated somewhat...into their being.A casual thought...'No fool like????.....'
But No!
My heart swell in comradice...
It is full with their merriment...and the younger ones...strut their stuff like cock of the walk...shooting their planes...this-a-way...and that!
...after all...they are still young...in their minds!
These men have been through the wars of life...the family feuds and drama....layoff and playoffs...and the dummy 2 drawers down...who would have them brainstorm...nothingness...just because they can.
.....have survived it all...and is still here with a smile on their facet to boot!
Their wives are in attendance...to support, and this is also an extended support group for them as well...as I stand there...taking pictures...observing and being observed...but most of all...Listen! and enjoy their moment...therefore making it mine as well.
Yes!...it is good to be in the presence of greatness.
Greatness...because they are all mobile...and erect.

Wish that I would...wish that I could...when I get to the age....................................................................
