We did not send the mail, oh no we did!

With a thousand memories in heart
As for him, he’s made, not just from the rough-hewn robes of raw courage, tied with crimson cord of bravado-his Ram’s horn curl around the memories of his Lancelot days, the time he first swam, in water way over his head, when he couldn’t swim-but he did-his broken top, his broken dreams…and the nightmares with no shape or form, from a buried, now forgotten childhood...
