The Memories I Have, 1976 In all the ways I can remember losing was your biggest game. There was a time when you held it all in the palm of your hand- but lost it to a joker, a lover, a bottle.

Tribute To My Grandfather I had the deepest yearning to see you again. To talk to you. To see you laugh. To hear your voice. To see your strength. I wish I could have thanked you before you left, for all the good things you brought to my life. Of all the people I have known, you had the most impact. No, you didn't leave behi...
