Undone
Whatever wrongs done
Can’t ever be undone and
You can’t always run

Of responsibility and nobility…
Built This Thing
Sometimes people do the right thing
After thirty five years it has been getting to be time to go
But what it seemed like most would do would only throw
Out all those that had helped him bring
His business thru all the rough years
The sacrifice
Not just
His alone. Dreams would have been dust
Without their lives
And tears
So now he has decided that the very thing
To do is just what’s right though many would not know
How. But his company will continue to grow
Because he’s left it to those that have built this thing

A tribute to Jim Dow, President of Diversified Plastics
Of pain and sorrow in the struggle…
Robert Cried
As Bruce drifted like a phantom through the countryside
He began to draw
More that had become outlaw
One such had come to him but came not to hide
Here his dear old friend the Lady Christian of Carrick
And with her she brought her men that were mounted
More than a dozen her gift
But too, she brought news against which Robert would have wished
‘Twas the tales of his family she recounted
And it made him sick
Now for the first time he heard the fate of Scotland’s pride
How brothers and friends were tortured and killed in the English maw
How his women and beloved were caged with beds of straw
For all of this Robert cried

Contemplating life…
Just a Nuisance
Not into my lungs
This cold’s been just a nuisance
My nose runs and runs

January Now
A pug tries to walk
But it’s January now
Boots get round the block

Of life, love, struggle, and friendship…
Each New Dawn
One more great man falls
As do all
No longer famous
But was among the bravest
Knowing him we knew it to be so
And thru the years his valor would only grow
Those of us that walk around ready to fight
For loved ones, duty, and for what’s right
And those with families that knew him knew his commitment
To be the best he could for those he loved and to be decent
His world champion fame and glory days long since gone
Each new dawn
He greeted as a warrior
No matter the trial or travail he was a fighter to the core
To the end
Those that knew him proud to call him friend

Of heroes…
Minister and Politician
A minister and politician
But don’t think that means you know what he’s about
Not fighting for position or power leaves no doubt
His character’s that of a true patrician
In fighting for the people
He’s not abrasive
But rather
Attempts to gather
Opposing sides in cooperative
Efforts for all so that all reap well
Standing for the common good his ambition
Though now fighting ALS his resolve remains stout
This is what he is about
A people’s minister and politician

A tribute to Senator Gary Kubly
In the fight…
Two Choices
When the punches come
You’ve two choices to ponder
Fight or just be done

Contemplating life…
It Is the Way
Stumbling in the dark
It is the way of all life
And not just a lark
