I walk along the winding road I cannot see the end This road is like my life, I think, I can’t see ’round the bend. Life is like that winding road, All valleys, rocks, and hills. Who are we to know the path That leads ’round the wondering rills? Some day our roads will comeContinue reading “I Walked Along a Winding Road”

Humorous Nonsense of a Cold
I will make my bed On this couch And sink into its Pillowy depths As my nose runs down my face And across the carpet To play with the never-ending hairballs.
