Life is A Highway
“Life’s like a road that you travel on, when there’s one day here and the next day gone. Sometimes you bend, sometimes you stand, sometimes you turn your back to the wind.

Run to Me

It’s not a question, but a lesson learned in time. It’s something unpredictable, but in the end is right. I hope you had the… Continue reading A Lesson Learned in Time
Better Left Unsaid
“Some things are better left unsaid, some strings are better left undone. Some hearts are better left unbroken, some lives are better left untouched. Some lies are better off believed, some words are better left unspoken”. Yes, one of my most favorite underappreciated Daryl Hall and John Oates songs (it might actually be a tie… Continue reading Better Left Unsaid
It’s Hard to Die
“Goodbye my friends it’s hard to die, when all the birds are singing in the sky. Now that the spring is in the air, little children everywhere. When you see them, I’ll be there. We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun. But the wine and the song, like the seasons… Continue reading It’s Hard to Die
