Turkey Love

Turkey Love

Such a noble species

The royalty of American birds

It struts proudly

Flying wild or farm bred

It creates awe wherever it is seen

The turkey has history in its line

Loved and worshipped by the people

The turkey was as American as the eagle

It was almost the national bird

Almost the pride of America

It survives by the millions

Besides all of that one thing in our minds

They make one hell of a great sandwich

And that is all we need to know

Let The Light Shine

Let The Light Shine

Let the light shine

Cutting through our lives

Showing that there is hope

Despite what you see

What you hear

Or what you know

Somewhere the light is shining

Showing people how to live

How to change to end the darkness

What need to be done to survive

The light will become brighter

More intense as people learn

As people accept differences

Thinking they don’t understand

Losing hatred raised from ignorance

Let them all know the truth

The light will shine

Knowledge will grow

And life will be better

If we let the light shine

Decision

Decision

Standing on the corner

Afraid to make a choice

Eyes dart back and forth

Trying to find the way to go

Any way to turn

No sense going back

I’ve seen what is there

The other ways are unknowns

Are they better than what I left behind?

Could they be any worse?

I just don’t know

I don’t want to know

There has to be a way to live

Without making such a decision

For now I will just stand here

Looking and watching all around

Thinking about my life

Where I want it to go

Then I will go back to where I started

And leave the unknown until tomorrow
