"Rhymes & Reasons"

Moving about in my own beat
Loss in the music and shuffle of feet
The bright full moon showing the way
The true expectations of today

Loss in the rhymes and reasons
My heart move along with the seasons
On that one bright moment of the night
Your presence is a welcomed sight

Laughter is our catalyst
Freedom and fun, this we insist
Hoping that the night will not end
To each other a smile we send

Loss in your essence and spirit
Thank you for such a beautiful visit
On the light of day
Your memories with me stay

"Perfume"

Your perfume lingers in my mind
My heart to yours I bind
A second away an eternity
You not in my mind a rarity

Whisper of your name I hear all around
My ears only hear your sound
None other than you I want to be true
In other's illusion I see through

My feeling for you feeds me
Giving credence to the world I see
In the night your sweet dream enters
In lovingly you saunter

Once wishing a full life
Life would be better if you are my wife
Loving, caring, joy and hope
Our love is as tight as a knot on a rope

"Quiet Man"

I'm a quiet man
With quiet ways
Looking for a girl
To spend my days

A Simple man
With true emotions
For that special girl
Love and devotion

I'm a man
Nothing more, nothing less
To the one and only girl
All my very best

"A Friendly Smile"

I always asked myself
How life would be
Without a friend to share it with
I realized this would be a lonely place for me

So I reach my hand across
To see if you would mind
An understanding from someone's touch
And loneliness could be left behind

So now I wish to say
Maybe the next time we see each other
A friendly smile would greet me
I'll smile back and become friends to one another

Restaurant: Ling's Kitchen

We have been ordering Chinese take-out from Ling's Kitchen almost every week since we found them several years ago. My wife usually order the letter G combination plate which contains b.b.q. pork fried rice, sweet & sour pork and egg foo young. I used to order a letter G also, but lately I am ordering the letter A combination plate which contains pork chop suey, sweet & sour pork and b.b.q. pork fried rice. I am surprised for a take-out chinese food they cook to order and they have restaurant quality food for cheap prices. Their food rank as good as the top Chinese restaurant in the area.
