I ask my self more often- With every passing year... The point of my existence, What am I doing here? Nobody ever thought that I Would live past twenty-five... That was over thirty years ago And somehow I survive. Survival isn't living I guess it's marking time- I try to ease another's load- By giving them my rhyme. People often ask me- What's true? and what is not? To be completely honest- I guess that I forgot... I've lived a lot of what I write- I've known a lot of pain- I've known the feel of hunger- And sleeping in the rain. I've seen my share of country- Experienced some grief. I know a bit of heartache- And bitter unbelief... If I must be identified... Then this is where I stand- I am your conscience, and your guide: I guess I'm "Every Man". |

I am glad you write of those things that happened to you and those things you simply understand. Alison |

The life of a poet, a "life of Frost", a traveller of both time and space---but not a rider tossed. You do well to write of such dread things. Thank you, Every Man. Now I'm looking for a meaningful sentence that ends with "delivery van"!  |

GREAT to see you, Gunslinger! It's been 10 years or so, now and I never get tired of your stories. :-) |
