- Life is simple,
- Life is complex.
- Share your life with another.
- Life may be simple.
- Being alone, just existing.
- Yet, it is definitely boring.
- Life may be complex.
- Sharing brings joy and pain.
- Each moment there is something new.
- Life can be simple.
- Loneliness turns inward toward despair.
- A vicious cycle begins.
- Life can be complex.
- Sharing moves us out of ourselves.
- A renewing cycle begins.

- This was written while in Tokyo, Japan at the Okura hotel on business. It was an interesting business trip that included visits to museums, theatres, and one evening at a night club listening to fantastic Beatles imitators. Yet, away from family these words came to the surface and had to be written down.
- I enjoy humor.
- Chuckle, Chuckle.
- Even if it is a little risqué.
- Tee-Hee, tee-hee,
- Ha-haa, ha-haa,
- All of them.
- One at a time or together.
- I love to feel happy.

- A little humor is good for the soul. I forgot who said that, but it is true. A good laugh relieves tension. I have been told laughter even prolongs life.

- I wrote this poem when on a business trip. It was noticeable how thoughts of my wife came to my mind. They definitely intruded when I was in meetings, after the meetings, in the evening or as I was waking up in the morning.
