Favorite Quote:
I've heard there are troubles of more than one kind, some come from the front and some come from behind, but I've bought a big bat, I'm all ready you see, now my troubles are going to have troubles with me. -Dr. Seuss

Perfection. Green green grass
Glistening dewy and bright
Reflecting shadows of the past
Caught at dawn's twilight

A slab of what they say is granite
But really plastic filled with chalk
But that's just the way they planned it
It's not about the talk the walk

No it's just about the legacy
Things we don't see 'till lost
What's remaining for the eulogy
And what the funeral cost
