Dreams of children, they never die
Placed upon a dusty shelf, there they lie
Hidden behind the mask of age
Forgotten behind their steel bar cage

Schemes of children fade away
As we grow older day to day
Pursuing lofty heights of money and fame
While losing the point of playing the game

I write about love, life, loss, kindness, and gratitude. Toss in some fiction and humor and you have the meanderings of a multifarious writer.
