How to erase history!

Seasons of my life

Why Do We Stand?

I'll Always Be There!

I Feel Just Like a Baby!



That's Life!

War is Hell

Oh! Where did it all go?

'OH! My,my,my!"

Disrespect!

Beware!

Forgive and Forget?

So Why Should I?

Fifty Years Later

All in a DAY

A Warrior's Soul

My Only Son

GONE!

Pink Elephants

One more time
One more bottle
One more rhyme

This story is the same!
My wasted life is a shame!
Everyone, but me is to blame?

My dreams were as bright
as the sun’s early light,
but a drink here and a
drink there has tarnished  
everything that was gold
and bright.

Now time has passed me by,
I peer into the mirror and
wonder how, when and why?

I’ll take one more drink,
and back into the bottle
I’ll sink.

Where my troubles
will shrink and elephants
are still blue, yellow and
pink.
