week 663 ~ in the company
in the company
of those I love well
of my family
I rest happily
for this brief sweet spell
in the company
of laughter silly
games red zinfandel
of my family
I dream most nights see
their faces to dwell
in the company
of those who love me
too a carousel
of my family
that twirls in 3-D
beyond our farewell
in the company
of my family
week 659 ~ when I think about tomorrow
when I think about tomorrow
when I dream about what’s coming
basking in the summer sun ring
turning time away from sorrow
I realize I need to borrow
from my equity of past joy
gather up my strength to destroy
fear to reimagine my days
whole and peaceful counting the ways
onward finding strength to employ
week 655 ~ the world of tattoos and a pickup truck
the world of tattoos and a pickup truck
American dreams now riddled with rust
someone’s utopia sneer if you must
but where you grew up’s a product of luck
and what you believe shows whose words you read
we all still have parents and families
children we want to be happy one breeze
can knock us into a new path so heed
the little voice of doubt look through someone
else’s glasses squinting into the sun
being kind’s the best choice in the long run
perhaps there’s common ground before you’re done
look truth in the eye our land of the free
demands we all deserve equality
