 You implied a hundred times
 That you thought you should leave
 But every morning when I wake up
 I have you laying by my side
  
 Leonard Cohen inspire me 
 To write down his words
 In a way peculiar to me
 The truth of which I observed
  
 The dear heart that wanted
 To fit into the crook of my arm                            
 Was ready to leave to set me free
 I told her my reaction meant no harm
  
 She had to understand
 I had recently lost my bride
 It was rather soon to have
 A new body by my side
  
 I cried, said she was fine
 I had love for her and her mind
 It wasn’t the same as being in love
 Be patient, dear one; I am kind
  
 She remained; we got along
 At times the road was rough
 But we survived dire episodes
 It showed our love was tough
  
 Four years went by
 There was plenty of excitement 
 Then a head wound created problems
 Treatment was required; no time to vent
  
 A neurosurgeon employed
 Removed the cause of the wound
 The infection Doctor prescribed medication
 An allergy; success was called too soon
  
 Her mental disposition changed
 She suffered from lows and highs
 Blame of course had to be placed
 The hospital at fault was the sigh
  
 She made her decision
 Move back to her condo
 Forget her covenant to me
 Asked why?  Answer:  I don’t know
  
 Then she said she had made a mistake
 Confessed that she had hurt me
 The conversation was disrupted
 Basically she wanted to be free
  
 So she took the path she chose
 Left me alone to walk
 She claimed she was having a wedding
 At least that was the talk
  
 It was only the blessing
 Of a relationship, which
 Made her sort of a Mormon
 Because we still have our covenant 
  
 Now I walk to the window
 Look at the beautiful snow
 Think about that relationship
 It couldn’t have been all for show
  
 All of the wonderful things
 Now just my memories
 The crook of my arm is empty
 I can often taste the misery 
  
 I will take the high road
 Though difficult to hike
 Forgiveness is an absolute
 She is gone; out of sight
  
 I pray for her; I pray for me
 Life unfolds so expectantly
 Sometimes we lose the value
 Of love, honor and respect

 The Washington D.C. bunch
 A thousand more or less
 Seeking total control
 No accountability
 Selling their souls
 Power is their God
 Full of lies, deception and fraud
 Will never achieve their goal
 Light will overcome their darkness
 The whole system will unravel
  
 Our enemies are shrewd 
 They are here
 Operating within
 With our invitation
 Then in thanks 
 They steal intellectual property
 Act as if everything is normal
 We have turned a blind eye
 Some of us, however not all
 Others care a whole lot
  
 The former occupant
 Took bold measures
 To reign in China’s evil
 Was having an apparent affect
 Now a new occupant
 Family in bed with China
 The media is quiet
 Good policies reversed
 Potential consequences ignored
 What are we to do?
  
 Soldiers sent to war
 Many come back fractured
 But are soon forgotten
 Until the last occupant
 Did things to improve condition
 For those broken and needing help
  
 Border wall and agreements with Mexico
 New occupant puts an end to the wall
 Allows illegals to be released into country
 Instead of being retained in Mexico
 Who does this help?
 Citizens are terrified because of 
  
 The dangerous people being released
 Some traffic in humans or drugs
 Others satisfied with murder and rape
 What are this D.C. bunch doing to us?
  
 We are stunned with the Wuhan Virus
 Incredible gains by the former occupant
 Are reversed because of fiats by
 Those in charge of our well being
 Close down small businesses
 Big box stores open but limited
 On what they can sell
 Churches shut down
 Stay sequestered at home
 Depression, suicides, drug use,
 Alcohol and abuse rise
  
 Then the riots because of the
 Wrongful death of George Floyd
 The former occupant while
 Promoting warp speed vaccine production
 Offers to make the National Guard
 Available to the cities where the 
 Peaceful protests are taking place
 As then transform into looting, murder,
 Injury, millions of dollars in structural damage,
 But liberal leaders decline and watch
 Their cities being destroyed by Marxist Groups
 Such as Black Lives Matter and Antifa
  
 The media is silent as is the “bunch”
 Former occupant defeated in flawed election
 New occupant points out all the failures
 Signs many fiats which he has not read
 Or possibly cannot understand, which
 Reverses many of the gains which brought
 Our country back to prominence and 
 Where world leaders began to respect
 America for what we truly were
  
 Say good-night my friends
 The fat lady is singing
 The over-ripe plum is about to fall

 There are doubters

 Even when you actuate

 The release of the truth

 Deniers do not listen

 They suppress reality

 Leaving many in the dark

 We look at the occupant

 He is putting America last

 Campaign promises made

 Promises never kept

 Reverses President Trump’s

 Actions which made us first

 Follow the science – No

 Follow the money – the

 Strategy of the left

 Think about it

 Look at the reality

 All of the jobs lost

 In the energy sector

 Is the occupant a dictator?

 It looks that way

 Opening up the border

 Putting a stop on the wall construction

 Pushing for a Covid-19

 Relief package of which

 Nine percent is actually

 Going to give relief 

 The rest will bankrupt 

 Our grand children

 Listen, don’t you see

 You do not have a party

 The old Democrat Party

 Is now the Marxist Socialist Party

 The real Republican Party

 Is now the Deplorable Group

 Isn’t it time to wake up?

 What do we want

 Our country to be?

 Children out of school

 Unions in control

 Indoctrination on hold

 Do away with our

 Energy independence

 For what reason other

 Than the false climate ideology

 How many jobs impacted?

 What is the number

 Of businesses affected

 Closed or bankrupted?

 May we wake up or

 Is that asking too much?

 Life, liberty and the 

 Pursuit of happiness

 Let us not destroy by fiat

 Then there are those who say

 Our country is systemic racist

 Racism does exist

 It may be generational or

 Territorial, but in my eyes

 I do not see most people

 As outright racists 

 They love all people as

 Children of the creator

 And follow the teachings

 Of Christian people around

 The world even as the left

 Creates the illusion that

 We are a divided people

 If we are it is not because of race

 Most want nuclear families

 Real education for all students

 Without accompanying indoctrination

 They desire successful minority businesses

 Want diverse police forces

 Minorities have been used by the left

 Promises made to them but never kept

 True believers in equality are repelled by this

 The minorities are waking up

 They read the news and know the facts

 Understand how the media suppresses and distorts

 They see who has really done their bidding

 And understand promises made and kept

 They are beginning to understand that

 Being used is not a good thing

 We should all be pulling for each other

 Differences should not be a factor

 We become stronger by coming together

 We reject that this is impossible, but

 Adhere to the concept that all men

 Are created equal and endowed by

 Our creator with certain inalienable rights of

 Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness

 How can so many on the left be so wrong

 Distance existed
 Several states
 Numerous counties
 A safe range
  
 Misgivings present
 Excuses offered
 Verification impossible
 Heart strings strummed 
  
 No longer a teacher
 Just a facilitator
 Principal alarmed
 Student skipping class
  
 Look at the miles
 So many cities
 Task mastering difficult
 Easier to give pity
  
 Mouth flying like a plane
 There comes a time
 To end the nonsense
 You must walk the line
  
 You never liked hearing
 Advice from me, did you
 You would rather tell your stories
 Then to face up to any miscue
  
 Humility is a wonderful virtue
 Just offering a clue
 No flowers in the winter garden
 Or I would send some to you

 New found lock-down powers

 Are being evolved into dictatorships

 Infringing on first amendment rights

 Infringing on second amendment rights

 The ruining of multi-million jobs

 Putting small businesses into bankruptcy

 Condoning “Peaceful Protests”

 Which results in injury and murder

 Destroyed buildings by fire and bombs

 Looting and burning the flag

 Funding raised to bail out criminals

 By left wing advocates including

 Our now Vice-President

 Denial of Antifa and Black Lives Matter

 As Marxist-Socialist Organizations

 Providing Covid-19 relief monies

 To areas that have nothing

 At all to do with the virus

 Adding up into the trillions

 Our “leaders” want division

 Corporate America is becoming radical

 Murder rates are increasing

 Schools kept closed by the power of unions

 Churches kept closed or restricted

 Abuse, drug addictions, depression

 And suicides all on the rise

 Suppressed or disinformation

 By the mainstream fake news

 Demands for psychological evaluations

 Is there any wonder that we are

 Faced with fear and horror

 Is there any wonder that the swamp exists

 I doubt that those

 opposing conservative ideas

 have any notion of what 

 the consequences will be

 The border wall is discontinued

 We welcome illegal immigrants,

 now called non-citizens,

 and will pay with taxpayer

 dollars their housing, healthcare,

 and food.  In reality is this possible

 when we are already in enormous debt?

 Do we question who these guests are?

 Are they infected with the Wuhan virus?

 Do they have criminal records?

 Have they been involved with

 being coyotes importing deadly drugs

 or confined persons who are sex objects?

 We do not intercede, but accept

 There is no accountability and

 belief exists that the cages housing children

 belong to President Trump 

 instead of Obama and Biden

 ignorance is no excuse for reality

 Texas wind power was frozen as

 were their energy sources, almost

 destroying their energy grid

 Embracing green energy alone

 is nothing but a farce.  We need

 coal, natural gas, nuclear, solar, and oil,

 basically a combination of everything

 When will the climate change ideologues
 
 ever learn?  If man could cause change

 then they could stop it.

 Weather and climate are cyclical, but

 We will circle back on all of these things

 I look out at my gardens

 All covered with snow

 More than a garden; it is a landscape

 Something that I never let go

 The deer have been busy pruning

 Actively looking for food

 They can do extensive damage

 But nothing to alter my mood

 Winter will fade into spring

 It is time to prepare my tools

 Shovels, rakes, saws and trimmers

 And don’t forget my garden stool

 Well over a year with the virus

 People are nervous and scared

 No jobs but we open our borders

 Without concern for how citizens fared

 Decisions from Washington are dangerous

 Everything good is in a freeze

 We appear to be setting ourselves up

 To be taken over by the Chinese

 We definitely need the border wall

 Everyone has agreed at one time or another

 Leaving the border open and killing jobs

 Is not an example of loving your brother

 I look out at the landscape

 Know how things can be in balance

 But to overcome the fraudulent occupant

 Is going to remain a challenge

 He prunes away our future

 Without a logical explanation

 Would like us all to be controlled 

 Like slaves on a national plantation

 Does nothing to open the schools

 Which only hurts our children

 Bows down to the Labor Unions

 Says he loves children more than humans

 There is a cost to this nonsense

 There will be a price to pay

 We have to come to our senses

 Issuing fiats is not a game to play

 Nature gives us gifts everyday

 A winter sunset reflects many

 Colors over the southern waters

 Of the beautiful Inland Sea

 Leaving us in awe of the almighty

 Who gives us many opportunities

 We may help others in need

 Often we ignore the situation

 Because we are too busy

 Looking after our own interests

 There could easily be a time

 When we are in the position

 Of needing help --- always expecting

 That our needs will be met

 What if they are not --- then

 What do we do?  Cry out to

 The creator who could easily

 Say where were you when

 Help was needed by others

 We must learn to be generous

 Giving of ourselves and our gifts

 Empties us so that we may

 Be filled again.  It is

 Gratifying, just like the sunsets,

 The stars at night, moon rises

 And sunrises.  We are alive

 We have no regrets

 Our path is safe.  It is up to us

 To make it well worn

 What are we doing?

 Standing by while depression  

 is causing a rise in suicides

 While the use of illegal drugs

 Is causing a huge rise in deaths

 And we tend to stigmatize the victim

 Where are our leaders?

 Why are we not talking or

 Bringing the problems into the open?

 In a sense we would be helping them

 We must come together

 Promote leaders who know the answers

 Problems exist which can be corrected

 Solutions take a lot of work

 But we must embrace the afflicted

 Let them know there are other ways

 Do we have the courage to do this?

 Are we letting our chance go away?

 Everyone is worth saving

 We must do all that we can do

 Remove the stigma of addiction

 Show love toward those afflicted

 We plead for those in power

 To speak out with humility

 We all have our disposition

 But reality demands us to address

 By the grace of God

 Let us move forward
