A Few Couplets

If you're sitting in the shade, drinking a tea.
Remember that someone planted the tree.

Our time on Earth is not very long.
So why can't we all just get along.

Failure is just a brief stop.
On the staircase to the top.

Live your life for all it's worth.
Our time is short here on Earth.

Never give up on your dreams.
They may be closer than they seem.

Someone is always trying to change you.
You just keep doing all the good you do.

Whether you win or you fail,
life is its own fairy tale.

If you work too much at your job,
of your life you will be robbed.

Howdy y’all. It’s me, ninong7 aka UJ aka John. Just a short intro about myself. I am a Texan that has retired in the Philippines. I moved to the Philippines with my wife back in May 2010. I am retired from the US Air Force. The music I like is mostly Classic Country and Classic Rock. I guess you could say that I am “Classic”. I play dominoes when I can find someone that will play, I play chess, cribbage, spades, hearts, Empire Builder, Rail Baron, Acquire and a few other games. I like to write poems and stories (although pretty novice) and I love learning about history, just about any history. I’m at home on my computer a lot but if I could afford to, I’d be traveling and documenting my travels to post in my blog. I hope to get to know a lot of you through PeakD and Discord.
