Good And Bad
Contemplating bad breaks and how they’re made…
Good And Bad
Advantage drivel
Each size and weight good and bad
At higher levels
And conditions same
For both sides of the battle
So who gets the blame
Unless you can choose
To change the rules or the field
Deciding who’ll lose

In Eye Blinks
Weapons high they charge
In eye blinks samurai strike
Living fast and large

Been Pushed
Contemplating life’s struggle…
Been Pushed
‘Til whatever lengths
A man has been pushed by fate
Unknown are his strengths

But one that warrior’s live by
The fable I’ve heard

To Feel Relaxed

And appeared to feel relaxed
Watching my son fight

What else can I say…
Feel the Strength
Contemplating love and faith…
Feel the Strength
When just a baby
I could feel the strength he had
Never been maybe

Some worries along the way, and some faltering steps, but always up and onward…
The Old Man
Contemplating the circle of life…
The Old Man
He’s young strong and fit
Primed to surpass the old man
In just a wee bit

Life goes on…
Stepping Up
Contemplating the struggles of life…
Stepping Up
Only just begun
Babes toddle. Men Struggle on
Son turned twenty one
Come into his own
Stepping up to toe the line
I see that he’s grown
-gl-
Life is good…
Every Day
Inspired by a son grown…
Every Day
Waking every day
Proving himself every day
Yes he’s found his way
