Without Her

Without her, there is no me
Without her, I cannot be
Without her, I cannot feel
Without her, life can't be real
She is so very beautiful
Her voice is like a song
Her laugh is like the chorus
Without it I can't go on
She is my Angel of the morning
The afternoon and night
Whenever I talk to her
I know that everything's alright
Without her to say she loves me
I know I would not survive
It's the beauty of her heart and soul
That helps keep me alive
She taught me how to love again
She brought me back to life
I need her with me always
I need her as my wife.

I was born June 30, 1969 at Fort Leonardwood, Missouri. (That's an Army base
for those who don't know.)
I grew up in northern Alabama. I attended Hartselle High School from whence
I graduated valedictorian in 1987. I then attended Birmingham-Southern
College where I acquired a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics May 25,
1991 (Magna Cum Laude, Phi Beta Kappa). Over the last fourteen years, I have
lived in New York City, ('91-'94) where I worked as an investment advisor
for Chase Manhattan Bank; Birmingham, AL, ('94-'98) where I worked as a
mortgage trader and bond analyst for Compass Bank, or as I like to call it,
"That Stupid Bank in Birmingham". During that time, I married my high school
sweetheart (How clichéd is that?). We were married 5 ½ years. We moved to
Bozeman, MT in '98 and I moved to Los Angeles in 2000. Needless to say, my
now ex-wife did not go with me. I am single now; and happier for it. The LA
thing didn't work out though. So I moved to Atlanta, GA. I stayed there
awhile, and now I am back "home" in Hartselle, AL where I am partners with
my father in an internet business.
