As
bad as this past year may have been,
I'm somehow happier than
ever.
I
do look forward to having more fun,
but my productivity has been
incredible this year.
Scores of poems, 40 songs, a loving family,
5 books and a half dozen music and poetry performances add up
to a great year.
Hardship
has its rewards.
Half
of these poems are lyrics with songs that may have already been
recorded. These poems that chronicle my life and experiences
are approximately in the order they were written.
Enjoy
what was often unenjoyable.
