Sixteen years ago he began a new life
He barely remembered those good ole days
Where he had a great family and the perfect wife
And sat by the seashore bays
Striving to be the perfect dad
Feeling accomplished for what he had done
But one day his plans went bad
And he really hadn’t won
Because people realized he was a liar
Like a lion who started crying
Yet added fuel to his own fire
If he were a bug slowly dying
One day he decided to run from his past
But who knew how long that would last

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;

Favorite Quote:
&quot;Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.&quot; -Lord Alfred Tennyson
