Never Alone ~ Aug. 09, 2020

When the world we know crumbles away Just remember nothing stays the same. With true family, we're never alone, As long as our heart's there, we're already home. Like a fox on the sly, so many days may go by. Whenever we think it's only blood...

Warriors In Love ~ Aug. 28, 2020

Two Guys. Undecided Love. ~ Oct 04 2020

Five Months After COVID Started ~ Aug. 31 2020

What's After Death? ~ Aug. 08, 2020

Heaven or Hell or reincarnation? What is true, if any? Is there a place for souls in damnation? Why does death call so many? Death's the end to Life's ongoin' ball, So won't you give an old friend a call? Pessimist or optimist, come and choo...

Trust ~ Aug. 27, 2020

Young Love ~ Sept. 21, 2020
