“Man Roger that was a great song.” Mimi said kissing him on the cheek.
“Thanks Mimi. I have another one that I just wrote on New Year’s if you all would like to hear it.” Roger said his confidence level at an all-time high.
“Really? Why didn’t you tell me?” Mimi asked.
“Well I didn’t have the confidence that I have now. And I owe that all to you.” Roger said as he kissed Mimi’s forehead.
“Well sing it Rog.” Collins said happy to see his friends all happy at the same time.
“Well I’ll need some help. Could all of you help me?” Roger asked taking a risk of hearing his friends sing his song.
“Sure.” They all said in unison. Roger handed out the lyrics and music and then began playing his guitar.
“ALL
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes,
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Moments so dear.
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes
How do you measure, measure a year?
In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights
In cups of coffee
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife.
In five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes
How do you measure
A year in the life?
How about love?
How about love?
How about love? Measure in love
Seasons of love. Seasons of love
JOANNE
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes!
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Journeys to plan.
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes
How do you measure the life
Of a woman or a man?
COLLINS
In truths that she learned,
Or in times that he cried.
In bridges he burned,
Or the way that she died.
ALL
It's time now to sing out,
Tho' the story never ends

Remember a year in the life of friends
Remember the love!
Remember the love!
Seasons of love!
JOANNE
Oh you got to got to Remember the love! remember the love,
You Measure in love know that love is a gift from up above Seasons of love.
Share love, give love spread love Measure, measure you life in love.”
At the end of the song everyone looked at each other than at Roger.
“That was a great song Rog.” Mark said with a smile on his face.
“Yeah I loved it.” Maureen said with pride of what Roger had accomplished.
“Me too.” Mimi said giving Roger a hug.
“Thank you all of you. You don’t know how much that means to me.” Roger said with a big grin on his face.
“Well why don’t we eat now and then go for a walk?” Angel suggested as she heard Mimi’s stomach growl.
“Thank you, Angel. I think that, that is a great idea.” Mimi said.
>^_^<
After they all ate they then got dressed. But before they could go out for a walk Joanne’s phone went off.
“Hold on you guys. I have to take this.” Joanne said as she exited the room. Once she was alone she said, “Hello Steve. What do you have for me?”
“Well just to let you know I got a judge to sign off of the restraining orders. After I told Judge Phillips about what had happened to Mimi and what her cousin said to her over the phone he decided to sign them and they are in effect today. Also, I thought that you should know that Benny has posted bail and is out of jail. So please take precautions. Do you think that he would take a chance and some after Mimi?” Steve explained and asked his worry for Joanne and her friends apparent.
“I have no idea. Do the police know that he’s out?” Joanne asked her worry for Mimi was in her voice.
“Yes, they do. I told them that I would call and tell you all about it right away.” Steve said.
“Thank you, Steve it means a lot that you took the time to do all this for me and my friends.” Joanne said with thankfulness.
“Well I have to go. Should I hear anything I’ll call.”
“Thanks again Steve. I’ll go tell everyone about Benny and the restraining order now.” Joanne said. Once she hung up the phone, she went to tell everyone the news, both good and bad.
