Grow old with me
“One Night”
Let’s lie awake tonight and watch the stars so bright
Hold each others hands real tight, looking into each others eyes alight
Look deep into our souls tonight, watch our heart fires burn so bright
Run off to a distant light, see our lives dance through the strife
I could do this every night, let’s grow old tonight

About Writing
Most people talk about things that bother them as a way to vent their emotions, another way is through writing. As I sit writing in my car, I ponder how much writing, in itself, has helped me become the person I am today. I have endless amounts of pages filled with poems, stories, and sometimes random blurbs. Writing is a window into your soul. The simple action of writing has benefited me; by helping me to achieve a better memory, helping me to learn and grow intellectually, and helping me to communicate my emotions.
