Only A Friend

Only A Friend

Times keep changing in this world of ours;
on that, alone, you can depend;

Pride's Destiny

Pride’s Destiny

I’ve lived many lifetimes, all rolled into one;
as I’m nearing my destiny’s shore;
I’ll even live more; before this one is done;
tho it seems I’ve been here, before.

I’ve lived in happiness; and swam in despair;

Pursuing The Truth

Pursuing The Truth

We spend all our lives pursuing the truth;

One Step From Eternity

One Step From Eternity

all futures seemed dank and dark;
