No period of my life has been one of such unmixed happiness as the four years which have been spent within college walls.

27 Years! ! ! ! !

27 years of my life-
I lived like a wife,
waiting for my husband kiss;
Which i always missed.

27 years of my life -
Waited all the nights,
To share my happiness and sadness;
And i felt it was madness.

27 years of my life-
I spent with unknown husband,
Who has time to work;
And I felt like a jerk.

27 years of my life-
I spent with boredom,
And being a loyal wife;
I lost my freedom.

After 27 years of my life-
I still feel something missing,
I still keep looking;
And still waiting.
And the next 27 years will pass by:
Without my husband near by.

My college degree was in theater. But the real reason, if I have any success in that milieu, so to speak, is because I spent a lot of years directing, I spent a lot of years behind the camera.

Walls

Walls of stone and walls of brick,
Some walls thin and some walls thick,
Walls so high and walls so low,
Walls to hide and walls to show.

Walls quite short and walls quite tall,
Some walls, last well, some walls fall,
Walls for comfort, walls of hate,
Walls for security, walls ornate.

Some as a barricade, some to support,
Walls of wood and walls of iron wrought,
Walls as a barrier, walls to enclose,
Some are to sit on, some to lean and doze.

Walls we build ourselves, these aren't good,
Walls for privacy, walls that have stood,
So many years through weather foul or fine,
Walls, that are yours, walls that are mine.

Brick by brick they are built to last,
Whether built now or in the past,
They shelter us from so many things,
And shield us from whatever this life brings.

I spent three days a week for 10 years educating myself in the public library, and it's better than college. People should educate themselves - you can get a complete education for no money. At the end of 10 years, I had read every book in the library and I'd written a thousand stories.

For my children, they spent 15 to 20 years of their life in baseball. And Ruth and I spent so many years of our married life that that was our life. We knew nothing else.

Life's Beginning, Middle, End

Taking your first steps,
Your first birthday,
That nervous feeling you get on that first day of school.
Your first friend who will be there for you.
your highschool years,
Graduation,
College,
university,
The job you get that never seems to fill that gap in your life.
The day of retirement.
The mountains you climb
The vacations you take.
But then,
The days that you wish you could of spent more time with the family.
Then.........
Darkness

Separated Between Two Walls

between two walls
i find myself in but
i do not tarry, i am,
the resilient wind
and i lift myself up
and see the walls
from a distance.

they say they are
protective of me.
they say they want
to keep me safe
and at bay with what
is right and true.

the walls of fantasy
and the
the walls of reality.

these are not walls
sooner i will make
them myriad openings
exits and entrances
to the house of my
peace and happiness.

The happiest years of my mother's life were spent in Washington, D.C. It was where she met my father, where John was born and where I spent my earliest years.

Happiness To Me

Does Happiness depend upon comfort? ’
The answer is definitely a big, ‘No! ’
Happiness lies in not comforts alone!
Happiness is not a static quality of the
human mind, body and soul.

All can’t remain happy all the time.
It would be foolishness to wish for a life,
filled with happiness alone;

Life could become boring, when happiness is prolonged.
Even A pauper can be happier than the prince.
Even A beggar smiles and sleeps well, despite much strife.

Happiness is a frame of mind that’s dynamic in nature;
Happiness is a kind of mood of feeling very well;
Happiness is a state of one, when life seems worth living;

Happiness is all within;
Happiness is in giving;
Happiness is in sharing;

Happiness does not depend on comforts;
Happiness cannot be bought by money;
Happiness is not all luxury;

Happiness is in being child-like, though adult;
Happiness is in sacrificing for others’ sake;
Happiness is in doing acts of charity;
Happiness is when you’ve led a righteous life.

Happiness to some is in dreams alone;
Happiness to some doing risky feats;
Happiness to a few is in a sheer lazy life;
Happiness to me is in loving.

Through Our Tears

The walls in our house are never empty
many memories are hanging on them there.
Photographs of days of old,
each capturing a moment in our time.

A day at the beach
frolicking on the sand
under the sun.

Standing beside our old car
that took us out on Sundays
to enjoy the country air.

Our wedding day so long ago
with the family gathered round
toasting our long life together.

The Anniversaries we have had
to celebrate those years
all hang on our walls.
Our happiness through our tears.

All The Years

You ask me what I think,
I tell you you ignore it.
The reasons for it make me crazy.
You ask me what is right,
Huh, you never hear it.
Youre never nowhere near it baby.
I spent my life believing,
It would not end this way.
All the years we wasted
All the years we tried
All the restless hours
All the times we cried.
You ask me what I want,
I got no answer.
I know Im only dancing faster.
So now were stuck with us,
With you and all your stories.
Whos the fool and whod the liar.
I spent my life believing
It would not end this way.
All the years we wasted
All the years we tried.
All the restless hours.
All the times we cried.
All the years we gambled.
All the years you lied.
All the hopeless dreamers.
All the dreams that died.
Repeat chorus

She stole my life

Why do you do this?
You take our pride and leave?
Just like that?

You want too leave us like this?
Pay for your college and leave us like this?
I sold my house for you!
For your special dorm.
FOR YOUR SPECIAL DORM.

I spent my money and my life for your education.
What is college? is it about education or relaxation and tanning for you?

I feel like a idiot
thanks a lot

The Happiness In My Life

The last few years
Have been filled with pain
Where did my happiness go

No hugging, no kissing
Not a hand to touch
Where is the happiness in my life

A new chapter has begun
A happiness renewed
With kind words, and gentle thoughts
Shared with my friends a few

The lust and the desire
Of which now I remember
The happiness in my life
Has finally returned to me...

I could have made money this way, and perhaps amused myself writing code. But I knew that at the end of my career, I would look back on years of building walls to divide people, and feel I had spent my life making the world a worse place.

Live life to the fullest

Remember when you were little?
It seems so long ago.
There were a lot of big changes it seemed.
Like your first christmas, first birthday, first everything.
Then you learned to walk and talk
And finally went to school for the first time.
It seemed to take forever just to turn 13,
To finally become a teenager.
Just a few short years later,
Guess what, you turn 16.
Now you have more freedom,
and a brand new car.
A couple of years later,
You graduate high school and turn 18.
Finally it is time to say your goodbyes.
To leave your parents house and go to college.
Now you have graduated college,
And have a full time job.
Maybe you have even started a family.
So where did all those years go?
Just live your life and try not to grow up too fast.

Tossed, Kicked And Thrown To Puncture

Tossed, kicked and thrown to puncture.
And those who have been deflated,
Like abused balls slammed against walls...
Are often heard to express,
A forgiveness given to those they do not fault.

'Why do you continue to put up with this? '

~We've only been together a few years.
I'm sure after the adjustment period,
Both of us will settle down...
To understand which rules apply.
Since every situation does not require a busted lip.~

'And...
WHY do you continue to put up with this? '

~We've only been together a few years.
I'm sure after the adjustment period,
Both of us will settle down...
To understand which rules apply.
Since every situation does not require a busted lip.~

Tossed, kicked and thrown to puncture.
And those who have been deflated,
Like abused balls slammed against walls...
Are often heard to express,
A forgiveness given to those they do not fault.
