If you sat back and examined your life tell me what would you see? A dog, a house, maybe even a wife, could you describe it to me? Would you see a happy man who has achieved his greatest goal? Or would you see a weathered old man upon which life has taken it's toll? Could you say that you were satisfied of the things that you've done in the past? Or would the past be haunting you, with dreams that ever will last? If you looked in the mirror would you see a man that is happy today? Or would the image be that of a man who has somehow lost his way? Would that image that you see, be someone tried and true? Or would it be an empty shell, of this man that you call you? Ponder these questions, and ask yourself am I a happy man today? And if that answer should be no then may God help you to find your way. When you sit back and examine your life, tell me- what do you see? I'm waiting- I want to hear this song, please come share it with me. Could you please just tell me who~ who is this man that you call you? On the wings of words our spirits fly, and our souls are free. |

Aimster, Sea, and Sven, THANK YOU all so much. I think I was in one of my "reflecting" moods about life when I wrote this piece. Thanks again. |

far from pleased totally - but I make no apology - "I did it my way" - could I have done better - most certainly - Might I have done worse - that too - (see how much you made me think ) Good one |
