When it's All Been Said and Done

Lost Souls of Yesteryear

On theDark side of the Moon!

How old areyou?

In the Blink of an Eye

I'll Just Keep Walking!

Until You Quit Loving Me

Do You Remember When?

Sometime, I'm still in Nam

Sir, That's why We Were There!

Tranquility Lake

Ole Sedville-USA

Those Were the Days

The Stars and Stripes Forever

Tearful Thoughts of an Old Soldier

Magical Moments

Hey Jack you made it back!

A Moment of Hope

The Scarlet Leaf of Autumn's End

Did you see it!
There it goes again!
Swirling, whirling, gliding
like a magical carpet in the wind.

The warm Autumn air pushing it along.
Slowly twisting, descending, but not quite
touching down.

Then quickly rising back into
the late Autumn sky.
Like a bird, it flutters and  
soars higher and higher.
Can you still see it?
It’s almost out of sight.

Oh! It’s gone!
I wonder where it will eventually land?
That last scarlet leaf of Autumn’s end.
