Contemplating the wonder of life…
Excerpted from – A New Star In The Sky
I looked up and there it was
New star in the sky
Why’s it there? Or just because?
Beauty way up high
Doesn’t really matter why
Only that it’s there
And I watch it with a sigh
Shine without a care…

Doing the right thing…
A Little Girl’s Life
A hero acts now
And saves a little girl’s life
He broke the rules how?

He knows who he is…
Contemplating public service…
A Difficult Job
Curse the IRS?
Doing a difficult job
And mainly righteous

Of the grim and of redemption…
Bleak Landscape
The sparse rain spells doom
Barren in this bleak landscape
Desert flowers bloom

On the need for penance…
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…
Of redemption, love, and commitment…
Ready to Go
When right who will stand?
I’m ready to go. My kids
Really understand

Contemplating redemption and responsibility…
Undone
Whatever wrongs done
Can’t ever be undone and
You can’t always run

Contemplating redemption…
Not Easy
Redemption’s not cheap
Doing right is not easy
A clear conscience sweet
-gl-
Of redemption, then love and commitment…
A Little Wild
She likes the bad boys
She likes the jazz and the thrill
Though that’s not worked out so well
But lecturing her to choose some nice guy is just noise
She’s been looking for a while
Though for what she’s not sure for she does need nice
But the thought of some nice boring gentleman is excruciating
Ever walking on the wild side his life has always been exciting
More than once in a while he’s been known to roll the dice
Yeah more than a little wild
And though women try reforming him he’ll not give up the wild ways or the toys
But incredibly loyal and he’s always treated his women well
She’s finally found what she’s needed you can tell
With this nicest of bad boys

Contemplating the right…
The Man
A badge and a gun
Does that mean you are the man?
Right must still be done
