i believe a poet i be
and you can read me

i also paint
picasso i ain't
but i throw paint
here & there
just to share
colors
'tween you & me

music i see
when it comes to me
i write
a song or 2
mostly the blue
but country 2

and those of you
who knows me
knows me
to philoso-fly
as time goes bye

but
when
it's all
said & done
i just be
me

a loser
a winner
a sinner
a saint
naw' that i ain't

but a tryer
a lier
a ....

man ever lost a word

to say who you are

a lone star

a Texican

doin' the best he can

a poet
who'll show it

a singer
who'll just winger

a painter
who knows
he ain't no sainter

but he paint's
anyway

he sing's away

he writes poetry
away & away
just to say what he say

yup
that be me

poetry
songs
art

just showin my heart

Who else would you be
if you weren't yourself

That is why...

Always carry your American Express Card
Don't leave home without it.

If you forget who you are
then your name is on the card.
