Our Stars and Wishes


No matter what the cost,
no matter how our future looks,
bleak or bright,
you keep on wishing on your star tonight.

I'll be back soon,
to hold you in my arms,
every day I'll get closer,
so keep wishing on your stars.

Millions of stars high in the sky,
our love, yours and mine,
will keep us afloat, will keep us alive,
looks like our wishes came true this night.

70,130


It was on the I-70,
homesickness,
nervousness,
tidal wave after tidal wave.

Bluer-than-blue skies,
soft white clouds,
smells of spring and summer,
Germany beckons against the wild.

Closing of eyes,
temples and earthquakes,
long life zen flights,
Pittsburgh to Newark
Frankfurt to Home.

The Greg Bentz

So here's a "drinking song/poem" that I have written for a good friend named Greg Bentz. He came up with the idea of the drink and after tasting it, fell in love with it. The poem I have written is to honor this genius of a man and the drink he has come up with.



It's the drink of men, past, and legend,
oh, it's the drink of holy heaven.
It's the drink that's wedded ol' men and babes,
oh, its the drink for a good motivation.

Lean in close, drink up this elixir,
learn of a drink, named for a famous Mister...

Greg Bentz is its name,
created through journey for the perfect drink,
a drink so perfect in acclaim,
made of 2 parts Irish Water of Life,
1 part Italian spice, and a
dash of the American dream.

It's the drink of men, pasts, and legends,
oh, it's the drink of high holy heavens.
It's the drink that's helped wed ol' men and babes,
oh, its the drink for good intentions.

Found by the man, who of good and clean expressions,
was of want for the perfect drink,
to go with the perfect life,
he took what was already sweet and already neat,
he sat at the table, mixed up the elixir of fame,
he realized one thing was missing, so he put in the
cola-soda, and thus, the drink of his name was made.

It's the drink of men, pasts and legends,
oh, it's the drink of high holy heavens.
It's the drink that has made fresh babes,
oh, it's the drink of perfect collections.
