Regarding Contemplation. . .
Into Space
I sit here and stare
Off into space seeing nought
Wind ruffles my hair

He Strides Yet
Noble spirits come in all shapes and sizes…
He Strides Yet
He strides yet
In an ambling sort of way
Present in the footsteps of all those he’s shown the way
His calm let
Them see
The way back from being lost
His balance remains a beacon that will hold
Others on course long after his story has been told
His quiet leadership has become embossed
On the culture as his legacy
He strides yet
Across this country’s landscape remembered every day
An icon some would say
And beloved pet

Bridges Don’t Fall Down
Regarding Responsibility…
Bridges Don’t Fall Down
Bridges don’t fall down
Not here in the U.S.A.
What can those in government possibly say
Though this make them frown
Well good
They should look at themselves hard
And should not in the least think to spare the rod
Upon themselves while thinking of those upon whom they have trod
Our officials should not be free to discard
Those that have withstood
Neglect or the rising of the ground
But the earth didn’t rise and this isn’t gray
It was neglect that led to this calamitous day
In a land where bridges don’t fall down
