  Spring will be here before long— My favorite season. The warmth is welcomed… After the biting cold of winter.   Time to plant a garden. Time to photograph the new wildflowers. Time to start mowing again. Some time to relax on the front porch.   Enjoy spring before hot summer hell, Before the grass is scorched, Before the lake dries up, Until dry and windy conditions…   Meet a spark and alight… An uncontrollable wildfire, Burning so hot it melts the road— Nothing left but what we have on us.   Enjoy spring and sing a song. Spring butterflies are beautiful to watch. Life reemerging from the frozen, Hard earth—New birth and cries.   Spring is full of promise! There are a million fun things… Waiting for us to do them… And conduce happiness.   The bitter, cold winter is behind us. Enjoy the spring while it’s here, Because it will be gone before long… Not to worry, though, it’ll return. ...

  Nothing will ever be the same, Because I met you, my love. That day I saw you… Beneath the weeping willow…   Your angelic countenance … Makes my heart beat a cannon… Vanquishing my enemies… And making me a better man.   I sometimes wonder why… Life is as it is—often unfair. “Bad things happen to good people.” I guess that adage is true and will always be.   I only want to live a good life, Whatever that means— Hoping that my life will be… Honorable with appreciable accomplishments.     Love, Honor, and Loyalty— Values worth living and fighting for— Are the cornerstones of my life philosophy. To be good is worth the effort.   I love you because… You make me a better man. All my accomplishments would be in vain… If I lost my one true love.  Did You Know?   The concept of the "American Dream" is deeply ingrained in the cultural identity of the United States. It broadly symbolizes the bel...

  This Valentine’s Day we’ll remember— Looking back not in sorrow but joy. My heart flashes like a red, hot ember— Never another day to waste or destroy! I feel like a child with a new toy.   Since our tryst started in flames, It has been easy to call you, my love. Your joy and comfort: my primary claims. Plenty of things to keep abreast of. You, my love, I am proud of.   Together, we will finally thrive, Finding a way through every obstacle. Creating a vibrant life with you is my drive. Satisfying you with every particle… Of my soul—our love’s not a common article.   Years from now, perhaps upon drawing… Our final breaths, we’ll be thankful for today— Thankful for our life of knowing… Proud we stayed patiently in the ballet… And a declaration of love finds a way. Did You Know? Valentine’s Day, celebrated on February 14th, has evolved into a significant occasion for couples across the United States, encompassing romance, a...

One day I was walkin,' Headed to the corner store: Looking for a case of beer  And a pack of smokes. You were standing there... With a tulip in your hair, Fingernails painted red And toenails too. I knew you'd be my girl... The moment I saw the clue. 'Cause you were made for me,  And I was made for you.  Now, we walk together... And we talk together... And we sing forever... And I know that you are mine. I've never felt this passion...  For a girl of high fashion. But I know our hearts are true, 'Cause I'm in love with you. Take my hand now, baby. Commit yourself to me. I am yours, and you are mine. We'll be in love for eternity. I can imagine many things,  Life without you isn't one. Because of you, the caged bird sings... And the whistle, joy it brings. Before we met that day, You were in my dreams. Now, it feels good to say... Come with me and let us play. Now, we walk together... And we talk together... And we sing forever... And I know that you are...
