Happy Father’s Day Friends I Never Knew Time Does Not Necessarily Make Things Better BY JEANIE ROBERTSON BY STEVE RUSSO BY JACK FABIAN dHappy Father’s Day to Dads Dedicated to Harmon Killebrew and With all the confl icts in personalities,d Wherever they may be. Duke Snider, friends I never knew. It’s a wonder any of us get along at all. With special thanks for all the past It all started when we were babies Years shared so lovingly. I lost another friend today, And were struggling just to learn to crawl. There was nothing I could do, For hours of homework tutoring, men that I grew up with, It got more intense as we got older, For fi xing broken toys, men I never knew. Our parents went nuts to keep the peace. Dance recitals for little girls, By the time we were know-it-all teenagers, And baseball with the boys. Golden boys of summer, It became evident it would never cease. Heroes in my eye, Then graduations, weddings, When I heard that they had left us, Smart-ass remarks became a daily occurrence, And career changes took place. I could not help but cry. As adults we displayed them every day. The bustling activity Our so-called friends n’ neighbors Was often so fast-paced. There won’t be any trumpets, Were victims of all we had to say. nor ovations that we see, Yes little ones became adults For the players that gave it everything, The most incredible example of this was by two famous people And then they moved away. and meant so much to me. Whom you thought would never think it. But in their hearts you went along Lady Astor said to Churchill, “If you were my husband, And STILL are there today. These men that were my idols, I’d give you poison”, I watched them as I grew, His reply was, “If you were my wife, I’d drink it.” Now they leave me one by one, These friends I never knew.
