Our time is but a moment. What we do with that moment is what makes us real. I enjoy writing about the events and people that come into our lives, who touch us and impact us in some way, for better or for worse. We are all blessed with the gift of life, make yours worthwhile.
My work is a reflection of life, love and social issues that form my moment in time. A simple snapshot captured in words. I hope I have done them justice in expressing them. I hope you find them worthwhile.

It's football season again
I hope my team does well this year
Football season again
I'm a fan
...
It was ten minutes before the war
The quietest thing you ever saw
Ten minutes before the war
And everything was looking good
...
We're a funny breed, you and I, you're happy to walk, and I like to fly
A funny breed you and I, when we're not smiling, we cry
You like my fingers, I like your back, you like to touch, and I like to scratch
...
My grandfather's hands tell a story
That few today could understand
Each knot a memory, each cut a step forward
That made me what I am
...
I wish ever day, start out this way
What a beautiful day
Clear skies, on the horizon, gentle breeze blowing back your hair
You and I together, without a worry, or a care
...
