Who said life would be easy?
There are seas to sail and mountains to climb...
Life is a tough battle,
You have to struggle, you have to fight.

You got to dream big ,
You got to think high,
You have to make it large,
This is "your" life...

You may fall, you may lose,
But you have to keep calm,
And ignore the boos ..

At last, when you've won the battle,
A proud veteran you'd be!
All the caged birds will be awaitng you..
Go ahead,   set them free...

I looked across the street,
     And saw an old man smoking a cigar,
          He looked sagacious though feeble,
    That old man with many a scars.
  He had grey eyes
That were miles deep,
 Eyes that whispered
      A thousand words to me...
He's only a part of my imagination.

Because forever
is the biggest lie on earth,
All promises made in love
are apocryphal.

My Sunshine Rae

The whimsicle sparkle in her eyes outshines the brightest most brilliant star, it puts the moon to shame.

Her sweet smile and cunning little giggle draws my heart closer like a moth drawn to an eternal flame.

The sun in all her majesty is but a small shimmer compared to effervescent glow that comes from within her soul.

She gives me purpose,  she gives me strength but most of all she makes my life worth living its because of her I am whole

I pray that the way she looks at me never changes, that I never see disappointment or judgment behind that loving gaze.

I can not imagine who I would be if I was not blessed with her, the life I led before her is all but a distant haze.
This is for my amazing girlie..without her..... well who knows

take words
make them into non-words
rob them of their meaning
each syllable is fleeting
away
poor words
think they're moving forwards
trap us into corners
they're the truest tortured souls
safe words
what a funny notion
it seems the deals are broken
these simple laws of motion
defy
my words
though carefully, i chose them
it's sad to see them broken
they changed right as a spoke them
they died
This is actually a song I wrote with acoustic guitar accompaniment.

Smile

I decided today was a good day for a smile
No matter what mood I was in
I went and brushed my teeth twice over
So I would have the shiniest of grins

I stepped out into the dreary overcast morning
Determined not to let it crimp my style
Thinking about all the good that life has handed
Who out there wouldn't break into smile

Most people viewed me with suspicion
Wondering what it was I was up to
I just smiled without any conditions
Even threw in one or two thank you's

After a while people couldn't help but smile back at me
A contagiousness at it's very best
It soon caught on like a wildfire my friend
People smiling where ever they went

Feel free to try this out for yourself
Takes no planning, you can do it right now
All you need is the right attitude along with a grin
Perhaps then the whole world will join us in smile
