For The Principles of the Red White and Blue

When it's All Been Said and Done

Lost Souls of Yesteryear

On theDark side of the Moon!

Cactus Jack and the Deveil's Gold



The Wind Blew

Where were you@?

How old areyou?

In the Blink of an Eye

The Proof

White Paper

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

The Spectator

Those Were the Days

The Stars and Stripes Forever

Tearful Thoughts of an Old Soldier

Magical Moments

The Devil's Advocate

Singing in the Sunshine

Ode to All the Unsung Heroes

Hey Jack you made it back!

A Moment of Hope

WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?

In a Nut Shell


The young days were slow and fine.
The middle time was like a sweet poetic rhyme.
The old days were like expensive wine,
sweet, cool and divine.

But, now all the sand in the hourglass
has sifted to the bottom at last and no
longer can I identify the reflection in
the mirrored glass.

Now it’s sad for me to say,
" Great fun its been…
but ashes to ashes,
dust in the wind
I will never, ever
pass this way again."
