Fine As Wine In The Summer Time

My Beautiful Chere 
Is Fine As Wine In The Summer Time 
But You Really Haven't Had Time To Age. 
Why Not Stick Around Until You Have Had 
Time To Age, 
Then You Really Will Be 
Fine As Wine In The Summer Time

Life Is A Constant Struggle

Life Is A Constant Struggle 
A Struggle To Catch That First Break 
A Struggle To See 
A Struggle To Eat 
A Struggle To Hear 
A Struggle To Talk 
A Struggle To Crawl 
A Struggle To Stand Up 
A Struggle To Walk 
A Struggle To Run 
A Struggle To Make A Living 
A Struggle To Live 
A Struggle To Get The Last Breath 
A Struggle To Go To Heaven 
O Allah! Please, Help My Struggle

The Unknown

It Came In The Form 
Of A Butterfly, 
So Eloquent, So Beautiful 
A Day In Flight, 
Then Faded Away 
And Disappeared, And 
Never Seen Again, 
The Unknown.
