Delta Dawn

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by
And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky

She's forty-one and her daddy still calls her "baby"
All the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy'
Cause she walks around town with a suitcase in her hand
Looking for a mysterious dark-haired man

In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn
Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on
Then a man of low degree stood by her side
And promised her he'd take her for his bride

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by
And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky
Personal Commentary: I don't want to be a Delta Dawn. Lord, please protect me from going crazy and have the town folk talking about me. I realize that I am a typical looks-obsessed gay man. May I one day stop being so hard on myself and appreciate the beauty and the wonderfulness that is Brett. Let me not spend too much time down that path called narcissism. Allow me to age with beauty and grace, and appreciate what is already present for all to see.

My Darlin Brett,
Yes, we all know you are looks obsessed...but that is what makes you 'you'. I promise, I will not let you go completly over-board...I will be sure to give you a reality check once in a while if you start going too far off the deep end.
If only everyone could be as pretty as 'Brett', the world would be a much happier place.

Well,

Just look at this 'old as dirt' guy here at this end! That's what I thought. You wonn't look too bad some 10 years into the future. HEHEHE! Just be you and some of us here will keep you in line bud!

Love that song! (It's on my iPod)

Looks only matter for a little while. It's what's inside that's important - and far more attractive.

And I think yu're pretty attractive - both inside and out.

Hope you're having a great day!

Someone hasn't quite gotten over the Birthday paranoia yet.

Kudos to Tony who summed it up quite nicely and succintly.

And I spelled succinctly wrong, dammit. (Maybe it's arthritis, perhaps it's Alzheimer's, or it could be the Absolut & tonic...)
