If you grew up in the 60's you will understand.
A big order of fries and a milkshake on the other hand.
How about those dance moves, let's do the hop.
Nothing was better than a soda pop.
Skating with friends, tobogganing too.
The best years of my life, who would ever knew?
Time went by, and the 70's rolled in fast.
Bought myself a car, cheap on the gas.
Wore my hair down long.
Flower power and peace were strong.
I felt so carefree.
Looking back, life was where I wanted it to be.
Life has gone by really fast.
Yet lots of amazing memories will last.
For it's not what you have, or what you do.
Life is truly all about you.
Making the time to have fun.
Even reading a book, while soaking up the sun.
Dont ever feel alone, for there are many to meet.
Head to a coffee shop. so many love to greet.
Life is the best gift, so have lots of fun.
Always remember, in my books,
"Your Number One."

He Loved Her...
Can't speak yet she hasn't forgotten how to think Can't feel yet she still knows what is real Cornered she just cowers Tallying the hours until she's free Struggling in darkness to find the key's grace That will relieve her from this suffocating embrace

I AM
This is not who I thought I would be. Before my family was captured and forced into slavery, I had aspirations of becoming a wealthy business owner or possibly a scholar and philosopher. Becoming a warrior was the furthest thing from my mind. Unfortunately, our Roman conquerors had other plans.
