A selection of my poetry and some song lyrics:
Prelude (City of Life)
Upon life’s shores we’re born to die…
With storm and strife in which to try
To find ourselves within the dark
Of human issues, to find the spark
Of right and wrong, of good and bad.
To learn to savor glad … and sad.
For life is short and all we’ve got.
If there’s an after … we know not.
So learn to see … to feel … to know.
To rule yourself, your greatest foe,
You’ll learn from pain, from joy, from strife…
As you make your way through the City of Life.
