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

Paris

In a small Parisian café on the
west bank of the Seine,
I slowly sipped a glass of red
wine and listen to Edith Piaf sing.

The time, the place,
the spring of my life,
and the charm of
Paris at night.

Life was young,
time stood still and
everything was a thrill.

What a lovely sight.
The Eiffel tower shining
bright in the Paris night.

The barges slowly moving
on on the Seine,
the statues on the rue,
lovers walking hand in
hand, two by two.

The city of lights was
mine for a short time.
The year was nineteen fifty-two,
and I shall remember those
days until my time comes due.

Oh! Paris…
how I miss you,
and that wonderous time
of nineteen fifty-two.
