Freeport, New York

Married with two children, Susan and Bruce and two grandchildren. I am retired, but still work part time for a security firm. I attended Bushwick High in Brooklyn, NY, but I have lived on Long Island most of my life. I love reading, art, most sports and try to look at life from the good side. I have tried to teach my family to do the same and I believe I succeeded, especially when I see how happy they all are when they're together.

Dreams

Dreams are stories that whirl in your head.
Pictures you see while asleep in bed.
Some dreams are light and some are deep
Some make you toss and turn in your sleep.
Dreams are different during the day
These dreams you can keep or toss them away,
Dreams while you sleep are sometimes
Hard to recall
You think you've slept, without dreaming at all.
Then there's the dream that disturbs your rest
They are called "nightmares" and are remembered the best.

The Will

A family is born
And lives and grows together
They go through life believing
This happy state will last forever
But passage of the years
Comes the time that brings the tears
And families lose fathers and
Their mothers,
Then a will is decreed
And some in their greed
Turn against their sisters
And their brothers.
