A good pick

Today I found an unusual item.  I bought it for only $4.  One recently sold on ebay for $42. I think I did well.

1973 Del Webb Mint 400 Desert Rally Jim Beam decantur. Appears to be gold plated. Also has the Sahara casino logo on it.

Def a great piece for my soon to be bar room.

Can't do this alone

Lord give me the strength,
I can not do it alone,
I beg and plead,
Don't ask for much,
Almost never ask for help,
Don't want to impose.

Talked to a brother,
A real brother,
You know who you are,
He said never to feel like that towards you,
You aren't to be abused,
Or used,
I've always felt it was wrong,
Throw your name around,
Ask for things,
Its just not me,
But I can not do this alone.

In my deepest hour,
The need becomes more intense,
You are near,
I got myself into this,
I will get myself out,
I just need strength,
I need you,
Your strength,
Your love.

More then strength,
Please send her comfort,
Send her strength
Send her understand,
Send her love,
All I ask.

Much rather see her happiness,
Then mine own,
Her joy,
Not my own,
Her smile,
Not mine.

Can not see much further,
Usually do,
Blind to future,
No clue no knowledge,
What can be done?
I know I can't do this alone,
Please help me.

Amazing star

Sitting down knees,
Begging you please,
Not what you want to hear,
And so many years.

Scream and yell,
And I sit and dwell,
Much to much thinking,
With glass in hand drinking.

Call to end was taken,
Need to be at the end,
Must move on,
I'm not a pawn.

What's past is past,
Nothing in this world lasts,
Wishing one was here,
One so very dear.

Tomorrow is another day,
Bend down and pray,
Hope to see,
One day drama free.

Where is she?
Beyond beauty,
Inside and out,
Happy I scream and shout.

Is this a dream,
Sure it seems,
My luck not this good,
Figure it out, wish I could.

Floored with delight,
She is my light,
Bright like star,
Heart in her jar.

A moment in time

Hello crack of dawn,
Hello morning sun,
Grin from ear to ear,
Even on Monday,
Weekend come and gone,
But not without a little spark,
Small fireworks,
Memory to forever keep,
Will keep me coming back.

Moment,
Time stopped instantaneously,
Single moment as if nothing else existed,
White noise,
Quiet storm,
The world stops,
And a breath as time continues on its way,
As if it needed the brief break,
Heart racing,
Unable to slow down,
Composure broken,
Is it possible that this moment will duplicate.

2nd time,
Yet not enough,
Is this heaven?
My own seven or eleven?
Did the world really stop?
Would I really have that kind of control?
That kind of power?
Even in my mind,
Was stopped,
Brief breath of air,
Or maybe just a stare,
Mind completely clear,
Can't get enough.

Seasons here

Another summer day,
Has come and gone away,
The leaves all felt today,
And old man winter is to blame.

Maybe surrounded by,
Million people near,
Still feeling all alone,
But still enjoying the winter chill.

Riding the scoot,
Only for the hardcore,
Not the weak of hear,
Now I can see why,
Those weekend warriors,
Pick and choose,
Not for me,
Never will be,
Cold or not,
Ride til I die.

Jack Frost,
A nice fellow,
Keep me cold,
Disgust for the hot,
Heat and sweat,
Disappear.

Gear it up,
Bundled like a snowman,
Or Michelin man,
Light up the hog,
Rumble and roar,
Loves cold air,
Take off and soar.

Favorite time of year,
Old man winter,
I owe you a beer,
Welcome anytime,
Hang out on my dime,
Stay awhile,
While I smile.

Running on E

Empty pockets,
Empty heart,
House full of furniture,
Feeling of losing smarts.

For days on end,
Running on E,
Wonder of pain,
Struggle to see.

Work for life,
Not live to work,
Could it all just disappear?
Even the smirk.

Running on E,
Struggle and fight,
Can only last so long,
Fighting not so wrong.

Last chance for freedom,
Last chance for gas,
Could that E gauge,
Be stuck to last.

Stuck in this God forsaken place,
Looking for a little space,
Little place,
That's all for the better,
This place is not on a map,
Its everywhere that I'm not at.

Can see it so clearly,
Can see this place,
Can only keep up the race,
No plan to face,
Mental block the space,
Keep my head up and keep the pace.

Loved and lost

Remember staying with my sister that weekend,
Mom called me on phone with sadden tears,
Sat there in shock and disbelief,
As my family gathered around my grandpa's body.
He was my best friend,
Taught how me how to live,
How to play the organ,
And I cried listening to my family pray,
I still cry even to this very day,
Some that I've loved and lost along my way.

She was so beautiful the day that I met her,
At a biker bar I used to love to go,
For a month we saw each other there again,
Whole next year we couldn't get enough,
After she set me on my own way,
For a bit we still tried to keep in touch,
She was a great friend,
And it still breaks my heart,
But I'll never regret the day she became,
Some that I've loved and lost along my way.

Dislike losing those I've loved,
It weighs on my heart every day,
I can do is look above,
And I hope they all know,
Never would have made it this far alone,
Where would we all be without those,
Our best friends and lovers,
What about our sisters and brothers?
Or our father's or mothers?

Never would have made it this far on my own,
Wouldn't be the man I am today,
I would only have a heart made out of stone,
If not for those I've loved and lost along my way,
Along my path every day.

I'm just a country man with a bike,
Always looking down this old road I've traveled on,
It was about trying to be my best or a good friend,
For me its always been about forgetting the wrongs,
Take a look at my past as they are my best friends,
This is the life I've lived,
This is who I am,
I hope that I've given a smile,
To those that I've lost and loved along my way,
Because I couldn't be the man that or this day,
If it wasn't for all of those in my life,
That I've loved and lost along my way.
