My Name is Jess

By John R. Cole

The good and bad go hand in hand.
You have to get through the bad in order to enjoy the good.
Sometimes, the two get all mixed up.
But the good is in there, somewhere.
Just be patient.
Take one day at a time.
Deal with today today.
Deal with tomorrow tomorrow.

Inspired By:
Warren Bacall resides in Southern California. After a tour of duty in the United States military and deployment into the Korean Conflict, Mr. Bacall came back to a country in the very primary stages of upheaval because of the early talk of yet more war in Viet Nam. He is one of so many veterans who return and discover themselves to be in a struggle to find "home." Warren is a man of many talents and a man of many loves. In years to come, his friendship with dogs and horses will probably be known as legendary in the animal kingdom.
