Bio
I am a poet-essayist-singer-songwriter, and advocate for the poor, with a teaching and counseling background. I grew up in Florida, now live in Asheville, North Carolina. I also lived in New England 20 years. I love nature, music, and poetry. I am married and we have three adult-kids between us and four grandkids! I am interfaith, leaning toward Taoist, Celtic, and Native American spirituality, and an "Obama Democrat." Currently, I am working on poetry and prose as well as publishing political columns. I am also phone banking nationally for Obama.

My friends are all simple folk (song lyric)

Rate: 6 Flag

My friends are all simple folk,

doin' the best they can, sometimes afraid to be themselves, sometimes don't give a damn

They are all stars,I tell you, blazing in the sky, but they keep their iron will hidden deep inside

They are all tame, and they are all wild, rough as sandpaper but gentle with a child

My friends are all simple folk, doin' the best they can, standin' by their woman or standin' by their man

They are all stars, I tell you, blazing in the sky, but they keep their iron will hidden deep inside 

(chords: D-Em-A-D, slow progression)
