REALITY

Persistance !

Our greatest temptation is to give up;
tho failure was never our goal;
like a marriage becoming a break-up;
only persistance grows the soul.

Although failures are destined to come;
life always gives us a second chance;

God’s Greatest Gift

I believe that all are destined for good;
supremely gifted in life;
very often, our destiny is misunderstood;
and failures cut like a knife.

Many are given great physical talents;

An Itinerant Wanderer

I’ve gotten too old to enjoy travel;

Just Sitting In My Car
