My Treasure

In the hour before dawn,
While my world still sleeps,
I sit here in wonder,
At the treasure my heart keeps.
A treasure so astounding,
It steals my breath away.
It fulfills my every dream,
And brings joy to my day.
A heart that was broken,

Love's Seasons
Streaks of gray, turning white
Your raven locks now gone.
Things like these do not matter,
To hearts that beat as one
We shared our golden youth,
Our days of wine and song
Our chances came in life
Our love...

Sometimes life's uncertain,
Sometimes it is clear.
Whatever else it brings me,
I pray for one so dear
Someone who will love me,
Who'll be there when I fall.
Someone who depends on me,
To give to him my all.
No more in life will I ask,
Than to be...
Sometimes it is clear.

Someone who will love me,
Who'll be there when I fall.

To give to him my all.

When Love Dies

To watch as your love dies,
Is the saddest thing I know.
To feel as your heart breaks,
A place I now must go.
Happiness is long gone,
Never to come again,
A heart that once smiled,
Now is full of pain.
The future that once lived,
Has died with a...

Goodbye My Love...

Goodbye My Love
You had my heart
I was your lover.
You cared for me
There was no other
Until one day,
You wanted more,
She came between us,
And closed that door.
No longer mine,
She'll hold you tight,
And love you through,
The darkest night.

Prologue...
A little girl sat quietly on the seat next to her mother. The young woman was just as quiet, not wanting to speak to anyone. The child soon grew sleepy and nodded off on her mother's lap. The woman thought, If only I c...

As spring wore on, the weather grew warmer, and it got harder to spend our days in school instead of outdoors. We'd much rather be hiking, swimming, or fishing. There were so many places to do these things here on the shores of Lake Champlain. For...

The Great Mouse Escape

Having older brothers can be a real pain at times, and sometimes hazardous as well. Having me around, they always had a fall guy when they needed one for the times when their mischief backfired. It also meant they had someone to be on the receivin...
