Reflections of Life

Rain in my mind.Thinking of a beach,Anywhere I can relaxAnd soak my feet.Maybe you already knowWhat I mean.The water is warm.We can watch the sun and then the moon, no demons to defeat.The norm is freedom.Richard Azael Martinez Jr. has seen his share of challenges throughout his lifetime.
