laugh the day
meet again
end up on park bench
exactly where
I'm at now
unnoticed
wonder how
bargained your way
packs that bleed you
no thoughts
what they've made you
success has sewn
a hand to your back
paid what price
for the path
we traveled

Maxims of Piety and of Christianity
The successful man is the one that understands the true meaning of life, that takes its outlook on to another stage of existence, that shows sympathy toward his fellow man in all his dealings, that can find true enjoyment in doing his daily work of whatever character that be, that has an eye for the beauties of nature all around him, that, while not destitute of honorable ambition, has learned contentment with his lot in life, and that is ready to do what he can to make the lot of others brighter and better. This man is not controlled by the rule of gold, but by the golden rule.

The sound of your hearts
Like thunder
Measure your step
Or all your plans
May fall asunder
Now gently faster
Building in momentum
Until success
or disaster
Befalls the master
Of the tightrope walk
