What's A Friend
A friend is someone
who see though out
One whom understands
what your talking about
Together you are one
together life is grand
Experiencing adventure, yet
knowing where each other stands

A Real Friend in one's life....
A friend is a tissue when you can't stop crying,
A friend is a shoulder when you feel like dying,
A friend is always there to listen when you have something to say,
A friend is weak when you just need a day,
A friend is a crutch when you have a broken heart,
A friend is a glue when some thing falls a part,
A friend is a phone call when you can't leave your home,
A friend is a when you feel all alone,
A friend is a wing if you want to fly,
A friend is one who understands without knowing why,
A friend is an ear for a secret to tell,
And at last.......
A friend is a love, happiness, care and joy that can never let go in one's life.........

'If your history is full of tv commercials, then you are in trouble.'
'I had put his book down, it was talking me to death.'
'Meaning is inversely proportional to the number of words used to express meaning.'
'In music, you are not making a statement, you are showing who you be, if not you are just jamming.'

'I try to make all the characters in my books better than I am or much worse.'
'Stay calm, stay centered, summon your peace and you'll prevail against anything.'

'Note to writers & musicians: people often aren't interested in your art, as much as they are interested in you, so show'em who you be.'

Sometimes We Just Need to Let it Out
Talking to a friend with a form of Muscular Dystrophy today, shes been having a hard time of it so I told her I'd pray..
Sometimes all we need
Is a friend to talk to
A memory to share
It's important that
We have Someone who listens
Who understands
The friend that will
Listen without
Judgement
And without
Prejudice
Someone who will lift
A friend up in prayer
And reach out
When they are in pain.

A True Friend
A friend is someone that you are close to
A friend is someone that always remains true
A friend is someone that sticks to you like glue
A friend is someone that understands what you are going through
A friend is someone that is kind
A friend is someone who would never leave you behind
A friend is someone who is the greatest gift to mankind
A friend is someone who could never let me down
A friend is someone who always around (when you need 'em)
A friend is YOU. That's right.
You've been a very good friend to me
Only you can see
Our true friendship
I Need A Friend
Gotta move on
Without anybody
I'm by myself now
Even though I'm not ready
I gotta move on
My friends aren't friends no more
I don't have anyone
That won't ignore
What I know and feel
I need a friend
I need a friend that understand
That I don't wanna feel
Buried in the sand
Coz it's so unreal
I don't wanna feel alone
I want a friend
That hasn't got a hearted stone
A friend that doesn't decend
I wish there's a friend waiting
I feel as if
I'm just dreaming
That I'm jumpin of a cliff
I need a friend
That understands me
That won't make me feel alone
And angry
I need someone
That understands me

Shes My Best Friend
Shes my best friend
Certainly not the average girl
Shes my best friend
Understands me when Im fallin down, down, down
Oh it hurts to be that way
Down, down, down
Oh it hurts to know
That that kind of fellah is a newspaper joe
Dropped his teeth on the floor
Caught his hand in the door
Guess thats the way that things go
If you want to see me
Sorry but Im not around
If you want to be me
Turn around Im by the window where the light is
Shes my best friend
Better than a dog or car
Shes my best friend
Understands me when Im fallin down, down, down
Oh it hurts to be that way
Down, down, down
Oh it hurts to know that that kinda fellah
Is a mulberry jane
She made jam when she came
Somebody cut off her feet
Now the jelly rolls in the street
If you want to see me
Sorry but Im not around
If you want to be me
Turn around Im by the window where the light is
Shes my best friend
Certainly not the average girl
Shes my best friend
Understands me when Im fallin...
Fallin down
Fallin down...

The memory, experiencing and re-experiencing, has such power over one's mere personal life, that one has merely lived.

What You See
Each day we walk life’s road
with its twists and turns
never knowing what the next corner brings.
For some it is great happiness
for others it is great pain
regardless we walk it just the same.
Our destiny is in the hands of someone
who directs us on our way.
We are taught that knowing great sorrow
we can embrace joy more tightly
whenever it comes our way.
It is the same with heartbreak
and love when it comes.
Each day is an adventure
we individually share
from the dawning sunshine
and dark clouds filled with rain.
The romance in the moonlight
and the disappointments in love’s crazy game.
We are who we are
and no one can ever change that.
If we are kind
that is the way we are meant to be.
Therefore, if you take me as a friend
what you see is what you get
until the very end.

A real friend in my life
A Friend is a tissue when you cant stop crying
A Friend is a shoulder when you feel like dying
A Friend is a bandage when you have a broken heart
A Friend is a glue when something falls apart
A Friend is when you feel alone, a wing if you want to fly
A Friend is one who understands you without know ing why

There She Stands
When the night
Seems to say
All hope is lost
Gone away
But I know
I'm not alone
By the light
She stands
There she waves
Faithful friend
Shimmering stars
Westward wind
Show the way
Carry me
To the place
She stands
Just when you think it might be over
Just when you think the fight is gone
Someone will risk his life to raise her
There she stands
There she flies
Clear blue skies
Reminds us with red
Of those that died
Washed in white
By the grave
In their strength
She stands
When evil calls itself a martyr
When all your hopes come crashing down
Someone will pull her from the rubble
There she stands
We've seen her flying torn and tattered
We've seen her stand the test of time
And through it all the fools have fallen
There she stands
By the dawn's
Early light
And through the fight
She stands

The We in Me
Idle musings,
here I stare
At the wall right over there
“With no paintings? ”
Yes, it's bare!
Any way, how do you fare?
“I am well, ”
My friend,
My only friend!
“You're talking to myself again”
Scary nightmares,
now I wake and I lie in bed and shake
“Oh, calm down! ” Give me a break!
It's your fault – the noise you make!
“I am you, ”
My friend!
“My only friend! ”
I'm talking to yourself again
Murder? Murder? No - I'm framed!
Hear that voice? The voice I blame!
“They can't hear me.”
What a shame I do not think I like this game
“I am sad, ”
My friend,
My only friend,
“We got me in trouble again”

With A Witnessing Of This Done
Why would it surprise you,
That those with the least amount of life experience...
Are the first to express,
Their opinions about someone else.
And needless to say,
From an unchallenged and comfortable point of view.
Within a boxed in comfort zone!
Only those experiencing their lives,
To adventure on their own...
With a witnessing of this done,
On a daily basis.
And implementing their deeds to accomplish...
With a feeding of curiosity that inspires,
Are the ones critiqued with a passing of judgement.
Which is for them as familiar as opinionated people.

Life Is An Adventure In Writing Words
Life is an adventure in writing words
It is going out alone and finding them
Beyond where the ordinary mind and life is
It is seeking them in difficult and strange places
And discovering the most complex and beautiful of them-
Life is an adventure in writing words
Sometimes simple
Sometimes with the words themselves forgotten
As thoughts pursued through them-
The adventure goes on
My mind goes on
My life goes on
Words go on
On and on and on and on
Until we stop.

A friend is someone, who upon seeing another friend in immense pain, would rather be the one experiencing the pain than to have to watch their friend suffer.

I Need A Friend
I need a friend
Just one
‘Coz one is enough
I don’t need a traitor
I am looking for a true friend
That won’t betray me like the other
The same one who's thirsty
For the real friend
I am here,
Waiting for a true friend
Who would say hello to me
And give me her only umbrella when it rains
That’s a friend I’ve been waiting for
I need a friend
Looking for me whenever
And knows wherever I am
Who would you be?
A friend
Coming as wind, unknown
Flying as little bird, unable to refuse
I need you
Sharing about love
Talking about boys
No secret
No burden
My life is also owned by a true friend
Where are you?
Yeah, although I haven’t found you
I believed you are
So I promise you
I won’t be leaving
Before finding you
You’re my true friend
Even though we don’t know each other
I know you are
I need you

My Life's Been Grand
(Merle Haggard/Terry Gordon)
My life's been grand
I been a hand at livin' it up all the way
I've had good times and bad times and hard times and done time
But life's been a blessing every day
My life's been grand
You know I'd write home and tell 'em
But they wouldn't believe how good my luck's been
And if it ended today I've been all the way
My life's been grand
My life's been grand

A True Friend
To find a true friend is life's blessing
Like a treasure of precious gold
Its value keeps increasing
With its warmth as years unfold.
To be a true friend one must be giving
Heart sincerity and kindred care
In times of joy or tears and failing
A hand to hold, that friend is there.
A true friend is closer than a brother
He tells what's wrong just to correct
Knows your weakness, judge you never
And understands you are not perfect.
'A friend loves at all times.' (Proverbs 17: 17)

But now that I'm cartooning full-time, I'm more of an observer. I'm talking to people who are experiencing these things. But it's not like being in the trenches.
Talkin Talkin
Talking, talking
It doesnt really matter
If you know my name
It doesnt really matter
If you see things the same
As I do
It doesnt even matter
If Im tied and tense
It doesnt even matter
If Im still making sense
Over you
Im just talking, talking
Talkin, talking
Cos Im only talking, talking
Talking, talking
It doesnt matter
What the people
All around you say
Be careful how
You listen
They dont know you
The way that I do
And if you wanna
Talk about it baby
Thats alright
Its better if I say it
Than to sit down
And write it to you
Im just talking, talking
Talkin, talking
Cos Im only talking, talking
It can be that
Youre here with me
When Im standing out
On my own
The words of love
That you gage
When we were alone
It doesnt matter
If you want to
Rock and roll all night
I know youre gonna
Be there when the
Feeling is right
The feeling is right
The feeling is right
Im just talking, talking
Talkin, talking
Im just talking, talking
Talkin, talking
You know Im just
Talking, talking, talking, talking
