Simple Man
~~~~~ I am a simple man. Because I believe the human race can change, I am a dreamer. Because I believe everyone should understand, I am naïve. Because I believe if enough people say no, it will matter, I am a fool. Because I say this to other people, I am a simpleton. Because I […]

At Our Best
~~~~~ If I were to choose to write a song, Should I be able to find the notes? I’ve not been musical my life long, Whatever that knowledge connotes. I was never arty; now I’m a painter Who knows what life holds in time. Time doesn’t stop, no restraint here, Thus, over time, I learned […]
Always Climbing
~~~~~ However long I have to wait until I know, What question is the one to ask, never mind. The answer will lead to another question, so I will keep searching to see what I will find, Since, when I have found IT, it will change. That’s just the way life works, at most times; […]
