Reality

REALITY

IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN THIS WAY
I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE LION TAMER
DRAGON SLAYER
WOOD GATHERER
GUARDIAN AT THE GATE
BUT LIFE HAS CAUGHT UP WITH DREAMS
REALITY WITH FANTASY
IT WASN'T SUPPOSE TO HAPPEN THIS WAY

BUT IT HAS

AND NOW SHE WATCHES OVER ME DAY AND NIGHT
I'M GUY ENOUGH TO ENJOY IT
WHILE FEELING GUILTY

DON QUIXOTE
WITH DENTED ARMOUR
AND BROKEN LANCE HAS RETIRED FROM THE FIELD

TO ENTER INTO A DIFFERENT FRAY
THAT OF GETTING WELL

THE ENEMY HERE IS HARDER THAN ANY I HAVE FOUGHT BEFORE

BUT I HAVE MOTIVE IN WIFE
CHILDREN
AND IN
GRANDPOP “YOU'RE SO FUNNY”

LIFE IS BEING REDUCED TO LOVING
AND BEING LOVED
AND LETTING PEOPLE PRACTICE ACTS OF KINDNESS
BY OPENING DOORS
AND REACHING THINGS
THAT ARE TOO FAR
A MOMENTARY
BROTHERHOOD
SISTERHOOD
THAT SAYS
IT’S STILL GODS WORLD

ARMOUR MAY BE RETIRED
LANCE MAY BE PUT TO REST
BUT I CAN LOOK IN THE MIRROR
AND SEE GOD’S FACE BEHIND ME
