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
