Such hype and concern
The end of all but once more
The world did not burn

What is it you fear
The sun rises, then it sets
Lovers grow too near

Courage is not the absence of fear…
Excerpted from – Images Came in a Torrent
…But the falling felt like forever so much time packed
Into scant seconds but that’s what she recalls
Maybe time just stopped
Then started again as tragic images came in a torrent
People were yelling and screaming for help above the din her
Thoughts turned toward those people and caring for the injured
Doing what she could for the moment

I dream of better
Things for all of our children
Minds yet unfettered

Duty and the fight…
Excerpted from… Governor of Carlisle
Robert the Elder and Lord of Annandale
Received the command
From Edward, King of England
To repulse the Scots. And so he did when they assailed
The great castle at Carlisle
The two John Comyns
Earl of Buchan and the Lord of Badenoch
With six more earls brought
An army to those walls and tried to storm in
But the Elder with his men held tenaciously while…

In contemplation…
So Many Think
I cannot fathom
How so many think they know
The way to heaven

Kilted in the cold
A Scot’s banner overhead
Who believes I’m old?

But Sometimes
I know every day
What she means but sometimes I
But forget to say

A tribute to those in the doghouse… My brethren…
Reveling in the glory of the moment…
Proud to Stand
I have fought real men
And been proud to stand with them
Or against again

Contemplating pain, love, and commitment…
How Great the Pain
She winces sleeping
Not knowing how great the pain
That leaves him weeping
