When I was born,
someone said to me,
"God gave you two boxes,
a White one where to put
all your happy moments,
and a Black one to hide
all the sorrows
that you may have."
I got two boxes.
Then...
at my life's end,
inside the boxes
He will wish to see...
and I will show Him
that of happiness
the White box
contains none,
but the other,
by His wisdom
the Black box
without a bottom,
is the full one.
I enjoyed this very much...the black box is full of wisdom because we do learn from our mistakes and our misfortunes...but keep searching and living the white box just might fill up. Great write!

How sad!
Happiness should be felt within oneself first,
in order to receive happiness given by others.
If you cannot feel happiness within yourself,
you won't know the happiness when received.
How sad it is that one only thinks of sadness!!!
Contraband Marriage, traveling along the hemline of loving after incarceration, is a love story written in lyric and free form, set in reality with a different ever after.
Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
Questions, unquestioned discoveries, and answers in parable and rhyme…. This collection records a journey starting with a 1960s retrospective and the first man on the moon, moving to a new millennium welcomed in with a terrorist spin, family crises,
