Live Each Day As The Last
God presented me with a gift,
I looked at it and was surprised.
This item I couldn't manage to lift
Before I could anything realize.
Early in the morning, I made my plans.
But vanity decided to break intention.
My hopes went away with the vans.
And the prices they didn't mention.
I was quick at twenty, thirty, and so on.
I did not see the false o...

Know You Better
Know You Better
I know you will be there at the agreed date and time.

A Bracelet Of Daisies

No Voice
Without a voice
I am left here in this world
to forever be silent.
