Lonely Vigil In Desert Storm
I'm a lonely soldier, in a foreign land.
I wish I was holding my sweethearts hand,
But I'm holding a gun, to kill or be killed,
As the enemy is dug in beyond the hill.
My thoughts of home, whirl around in my head,
I'm on duty when I should be in bed.
The roar of the jets, make the desert shake,
I need sleep, but I'm wide awake.
The safety of the regiment depends on me,
But the blowing sand, makes it hard to see.
Being a prisoner of war is hell they say,
And a cease fire is expected any day.
When I get home, to my family and friends,
I will never come back this way again.
The smoke is so thick, you never see the sun,
The environment will be polluted for years to come.
Oil burning and flowing like flood,
Forgotten is the price of human blood.
God works His mysterious ways,
He has the power to amend man's ways.

Lobster Season
Fisherman go out for the event of the year,
As Lobster Season is now here.
The traps are set, the men in good cheer,
Hoping they will have a banner year.
Boats are spread out, in all direction they go,
Wow! what a spectacular show!
The water is calm in the bright sunlight,
All will bring in a gourmet's delight.
Buoys are bobbing like jewels on the sea,
Out as far as the eye can see.
A big blow, almost put them out of reach,
A many were found, broken up on the beach.
All you tourists, hang around for the spoil,
As the big pots are ready to boil.
You will have a feast, you will never forget,
Coming to Glace Bay you will never regret.
Cape Bretoner's are as proud as can be,
As their lobster's are sold abroad and from sea to sea.
Hospitality is what they are famous for,
So you will have a good time and never get bored.
After you leave you can be sure,
You will always look forward to coming back for more.

Just Me
I am Me
I love people and animals alike,
I love to fish, swim and hike,
I love the sun on the water so bright,
I love the eerie darkness of night,
I love the buzz of the bumble bee,
and wish I could always be, "Just me."
