Good men step forward

Twenty two years in the field
It’s time to imbue

The DC mind set
And me with each other’s view
Hope I don’t forget

Telling yourself they’ll be safe

Onto the Street

Contemplating tension…

   Onto the Street

The orders come down
And it’s out onto the street
Mixed with smiles and frowns

Each handles the stress
For some a lark. For others
Each op is a test

Depending on style
The fears and tension handled
Underneath the smiles

He Suits Up

Contemplating a comeback…

   He Suits Up

A long time hero
Back from an ancient history
Forgotten he knows

Maybe best that way?
But duty calls. He suits up
Cap’s into the fray

Contemplating, “How fun is that?”
