Honor, Respect, Loyalty
Honor was not just a word
It was inner compass
Felt deep within
Respect is earned
Not demanded like a spoiled brat
Given willing
Loyalty is fleeting
What once was sort out
Is now blown away like a puff of smoke

Honor Loyalty and Respect are all earned and very easy to lose.
Great work 👏

Rolling Into the Back 40
halfway to the party
and inspiration is faltering
slapping words into phrases
hoping they make any sense
breaking it into sections
so I don’t lose momentum
but my energy got up and went
and I’m left scrambling and outta breath
it’s one helluva workout…
for a pen with rusty muscles
drop and give me…Read More![Profile Photo]()

oh wow lovely Fia what a memory…I learned by myself when I around two I was in doughboy and I was holding the rail but the adults in the other end were drunk and making waves so I let go and swam underwater I don’t know how…you’re right the water can be scary… sorry I shared but this write brought back that memory…❤️

Wow! I was never taught to make bubbles. But I was like a fish underwater and held my breath for long periods of time. Payback is a bitch though and asthma shut that down. Maybe because I never made bubbles…
