Living the Aging Life

We’re taking to the streets today

so all will understand:

We raise our voice for Liberty!

We cherish this flawed land.

We raise our voices, one by one,

so all can hear us say:

We’re standing for America.

Hands off the USA!

October sunlight – soft, and yellow.

Season changing – fading, mellow.

My candle burns for those in school –

who study, learn, or teach –

for those who find it easy

and for those who have to reach.

My candle burns for ev’ry One –

at each and ev’ry task.

My candle lifts its steady prayer:

Safe Home is what we ask.

May this blessing find its way

to hold you through the night,

and keep you safe from ev’ry harm

until tomorrow’s light.

I sleep tonight – untroubled –

by the passage of the light,

receiving restoration through

the blessings of the night.

Columbus was a sailing man.

He sailed across the sea.

He claimed he found America.

That’s how we came to be.

It’s sunrise and the morning

slowly turns from dark to  day.

It brings abiding promise

that Mankind will be okay.

Today’s a happy day for you.

You’ll prosper.

You’ll excel.

In all the things that come your way,

you’ll do them very well!

Today’s a day that’s bonny bright—

perhaps just made for you –

and if you squeeze your eyes real tight,

perhaps a dream comes true.

Sometimes Sun’s half-hearted –

neither out nor fully in—

But Sun will always topple Fog

if Sun decides to win.
