Good Morning
๐ป๐๐๐๐๐๐ป
In Her Red Riding Hood Coat
She Bids Good Morning To Puss
Above The Heart Shaped Gorge, They Float
And Tell A Story For Us
๐๐๐
To See The Silver Moon Sink
And The Shooting Star Above
Two Friends Standing On A Brink
Touching Hands And Showing Love
๐๐๐
Fireflies In Bushes And Trees
Reflections In The Water
These Are The Sights That They See
Here Sharing Nature's Wonders
๐๐๐
This Little Girl And Her Cat
Know Where Happiness Is At

HE not WE
They drop the bombs And claim we all had agreed It's nothing but lies

Lightning Never Strikes Twice
The distant rumble, the sudden deluge, the crescendo of sound, the flash of light, the explosive energy โ it never gets old. I became an amateur storm chaser about two years ago. My wife, Cindy suggested it. Sort of. She said, "Alex, you know this cancer is killing me. I've come to terms with that, but you're smothering me. Go join a band, write a book, or become a storm chaser, for all I care. I love you, but you need a hobby."
