Got It Right

It took a while to find each other's light
Time spent living our best life
But my world changed for good overnight
And felt as if I had won the prize
All the little things that make a day
The rest of it's irrelevant noise
And no guarantee we'd grow in the same way
Speak the language of our marital joys
I think we got it right
I'll wake up with you
Share the things that we do
Straight on 'til night
I think we got it right
Our history now going on twenty years
A complete and comfortable life
I can't wait to see where we will go next
The adventures of husband and wife

Enough To Go Around

Benefits dried up
It's all but gone
Our meager nest egg
Is now withdrawn
We've lost our jobs
Can't pay the note
The rest of our bills
Got us by the throat
Times are kinda tough
Not enough to go around
We're gonna help each other out
In our path to higher ground
Flatten that curve
Shelter at home
No money comes in
Future's unknown
Most will comply
Some will dissent
Time will show us
How to re-invent
Most of us will get there safe
In our newly born frontier
Perhaps a bit more careful
Perhaps a little worse for wear

The Essentials

Thank you to the nurses
For putting themselves at risk
Thank you to the scientists
Working on a fix
Thanks to all the seamstress'
At home just sewing masks
And thanks to you for all you do
And staying home before they ask
To the frontline responders
Thanks comes from our hearts
And to the food preparers
Feeding families a la carte
And thank you manufacturers
For retooling your machines
And thanks to grocery workers
Behind their plastic screens
There are people keeping people safe
Always look for people keeping people safe
Show them love and show them respect
And always keep the faith
To all those fire fighters
There isn’t thanks enough
And thank you to volunteers
Getting going when it’s getting tough
And thank you entertainers
Performing from your home
We're all in this together
And you know you're not
You know you're not alone

Our Friendship

My Privilege
Our defiance
My pride
Our cultures
My shame
Our bravery
Our privacy
Their judgment
Our children
The stares
Our courage
Their world
The failures
Our joys
My reflection
Our differences
My stupidity
Our undoing
Our friendship

I'm just a random old dude, Retired and still writing and playing music.
Music has always
been a huge part of my life. My musical journey has introduced me to many good friends. I love to write and produce in various genres using quite a few instruments. It's like painting with more colors!
