The other day, I was sitting with a child upon my knee,
What was running through his mind was a mystery to me.
His eyes seemed to search for answers floating in the air,
To questions in his mind, of which only he was aware.

I know I should feel blessed for all that I have.
Good friends, good health, and a love sweet and tender.
But when life, as it does, throws in something unplanned,
Sometimes I just forget to remember.
It is easy to get caught up in a world of “What if”,
Which starts you living in [...]

Is there anything better than a cold and frosty brew,
Sittin with your pards, spinning yarns, telling tales - some true?
Don’t mind the sweat upon your brow or running down your chest,
Cause when it’s hot and you’re with friends, that’s when a brews the best.
The first round’s mine and the next [...]

There are storm clouds in the sky, and thunder is rolling in.
Preparing for a storm should happen long before it begins.
I’ve heard it said in everyone’s life a little rain will fall.
If thunder sounds like trouble, then I’m hearing trouble’s call.
I can see the lightning crack and I can smell [...]

Sometimes I get to wonderin after something I thought was right went wrong,
Is this really my life I livin or is this some country and western song?
Like the night I know I went to bed with a Venice de Milo, I really had quite a find,
And in morning I was [...]

Sometimes life just calls for a gentle touch,
It’s really easy and doesn’t require much.
Just a tender caress on the back of her neck,
Or perhaps brush her cheek, and give it a peck.
Rub her shoulders, if you know she’s tense,
Tell her what she adds to your life, take a chance.
Look deep [...]

I might be wrong. I could be mistaken.
But is there anything sadder, than an adventure left untaken.
I don’t like looking back and saying, “I wish I had”.
For me, trying and failing is not nearly as bad.
No trying and failing doesn’t leave me shaken,
But I have a few regrets of adventures [...]

I’ll never forget the day that my daddy,
Bought me my first Peanut Patty.
I doubt if he realized what he had done,
He had created a peanut addict by buying me one.
The more I ate, the deeper in addiction I sank,
And I soon moved on to Peanut Planks.
Now you don’t need to [...]

I worked hard, my whole life, and was inclined,
That when my time had come to retire, I could retire with peace of mind.
I didn’t want to be a burden on my kids,
So when retirement called, here’s what I did.
I set out and made a budget and I listed,
All my income [...]

As a little boy getting ready for bed
I remember looking at my mother and what I said.
Mother, tell me a story, would you tell me one please?
I would beg her and beg her and get down on my knees.
Tell me one about pirates on ships with huge sails,
Or tell me [...]
