Congratulations! Does our cousin play chess?
Not really 🙂
Best wishes,

For Susan
Stairy, stairy height…
Paint your chessboard white and gray
Look out on a summer’s day
With eyes that see the darkness in pro chess.
Shadows on the boards
Sketch the games and scorecards
Torn into small tiny shards
Behind a smile hiding your duress.
Now I understand…
What you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your charity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen…they did not know how
Perhaps they’ll listen now
Stairy stairy height
Flaming words that brightly blaze
Vows to raise long forgotten days
Reflect in Susan’s brilliant eyes of blue…
Patterns deftly cast
More new solvers posed at last
Your purpose now, your future past
All poised to show chess a better day.
For they could not love you
But still your love is true
And if no hope be left inside
On that stairy, stairy height
You’ll lose your oath as lovers often do
But I could have told you Susan
That chess was never meant for one as…
beautiful as you
Stairy stairy height
Grandeur lost in empty halls
Wasted moves on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can’t forget
Like the players that you’ve met
The struggling pros in ragged clothes
The last game lost, the forgotten moves
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
Now I think I know…
What . . . .you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your clarity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen. . . .they’re not listening still
…
Perhaps they never will
My mother’s side. Brad’s Grandfather is my Grandfather’s brother.
