Iconic pictures hanging on the wall.
Dirty blue carpet covering the hall.
--
In life there are plenty of things to be treasured.
It all depends on just how your wealth is measured.
--
Some people only see negative things.
When before them are the treasures of kings.
--
Strong people learn and move on from their mistakes.
Weak people just panic and put on the brakes.

THE Texan in the Philippines.jpg

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.

Very nice couplets. It's interesting the different ways people can see and experience life.
