Of life and beauty…
January Now
A pug tries to walk
But it’s January now
Boots get round the block

Each New Dawn
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

A tribute to Savannah Svatma Russell (Known in his fighting days as SAVANNAH JACK)
Minister and Politician
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
Two Choices
In the fight…
Two Choices
When the punches come
You’ve two choices to ponder
Fight or just be done

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

Definition of Beauty
Contemplating beauty…
Definition of Beauty
She’s become my definition of beauty
She was always hot
And I can’t repeat lots of the compliments I got
About how shapely
Her shape was
A dream
Then and now that’s still the same
But thru the years everything’s found a new frame
And seems
That because
Of all that she’s come to be
And has taught
Me. This and all that she is has brought
Me to see she is the definition of beauty

Not Easy
Contemplating redemption…
Not Easy
Redemption’s not cheap
Doing right is not easy
A clear conscience sweet

Trample On Conscience
Contemplating nobility, or the lack thereof…
Trample On Conscience
Once more just the same
Men who trample on conscience
Soon get over shame

While My Face Smiles
In pain and sorrow…
While My Face Smiles
My heart screams with pain while my face smiles
I retreat into hectic routine
But the act only postpones my trials
It is the pain that’s real though perhaps not seen
And life is not normal though to others it may seem
I struggle on tired and numb
Dazed. I still wish this was but a dream
I couldn’t imagine the emptiness losing that special someone
Why?! She was so alive, so young
Missing her stops me cold in my tracks
Hiding from the pain why I stay on the run
But my tears reveal the facade’s many cracks
Mama, Come Back…

Holding Him
In contemplation of the fight…
Holding Him
The fighter will bow
But he needs teammates’ support
Holding him up’s how
