Dedication 

To my beautiful daughters who bring much inspiration to my life and remind me of the innocence in each of us. Also, to my family and friends who have stood by me through good times and bad, without whom I would not be here today. 

Thank you to you all and I am glad you are in my life. 

A New Beginning 

It’s time to begin life anew, 

There’s nothing else for me to do. 

For all other plans have gone askew, 

To new plans I must stick like glue. 

And ensure I accomplish for those precious two 

All that I know to be true. 

A new beginning has been given to me, 

To become what I’ve often wanted to be. 

I take this time to beg and plead. 

To God above, I pray to thee. 

And let me not forget the deed, 

I swore to those who’ve had to flee. 

I shall overcome these dark times 

And just as you’ve read these lines, 

I shall return with gladder tides 

Because of the ties that bind. 

I will spare the dimes 

So please remember this rhyme. 

For we know not when our time shall come, 

Or if we’ll get to do all we want to be done. 

So take what time you know is won, 

And do your best to have some fun. 

Frolic and play in the fields and sun, 

Because Death will find you, wherever you run. 

A Testament to You 

The sun is shining 

And children are whining 

That it is too bright 

But oh, what a sight? 

Your beauty can black out 

The brightest of stars 

And make a man take things a bit too far 

With no desire or need to pout. 

You are the embodiment of heaven 

And our two families would make us seven. 

However it is what I want to say 

That makes me wish we had a day. 

I have feelings for you 

I know not what to do 

A relationship is not good right now 

Just like winter is when there are no fields for the plow. 

Your friendship is important to me 

Just as I hope mine is to thee. 

A trip we can now take 

And a lasting bond we’ll be able to make. 

From me to you I simply say 

It will be a glorious day 

So come with me and have some fun 

Because there is nothing else to be done. 

Adirondack Blue 

The world turns 

We all yearn 

To know what to do 

But some things are true. 

Seasons turn, 

Feelings change 

The sky stays bright 

And Adirondack Blue. 

Though far away we may go 

And a long, long row we have to hoe 

The things we love come along, 

They keep our faith and make us strong. 

When you feel hard-pressed 

There may only be one thing to do, 

Remember these words are not in jest 

But the sky will remain Adirondack Blue. 

For those who
