Back At It Again
Turning Away Not Off The News
Feeling sad and disappointed
In the tragic deaths of five people
That happened in a peaceful protest that turned into something so bad
In the heart of Washington D.C,
How does that affect me and every American
I am not a political person
I don't follow all the latest in worldwide or local news
I am so busy with my own personal life
That leaves little time for everything else
I believe in taking care of our own families
The core of all relationships
If we fail at that
Then we have lost our way
At the end of every day
My wife is the one who unconditionally
Loves and supports me
Through all the good times and bad
Both my wife and I try to accomplish many dreams and goals
Some we do succeed
Many we do not
We have to live with our disappointments
We have to rework and try to see if they can still be done
All while going to work every day
Contributing to society by paying our fair share of taxes
Paying our bills and supporting ourselves
Taking care of our own health and safety
Looking toward the future
As bright and amazing in so many ways
We are still learning and discovering ourselves
What we need as a married couple
To provide and keep our marriage alive and well
As we grow older
Things become not as easy as they were when we were young
Memories fade and energy slows down
We slowly work to redefine our greatest passions
Loving life and each day
As if it is our last
With enthusiasm and spirit
We continue our search
To find the most wonderful joys in life
