I truly believe that one must always take time for quiet ~~~
Heros ----
I’ll give you chivalry
this concept dying
in an undeserving world
as I hobbled on my good leg
down the flight of stairs
the other completely useless
no one offered a hand
and the ocean of shoes before me
threatened to do more damage
than the original wound
he found my shoes in that mess
and put them on my feet
He didn’t slay a dragon
or save me from my daemons
nor did he pick up the tab
because I think
chivalry’s definition is changing
so we should quit looking to our men
for dangerous acts of heroism
and knighthood
and appreciate them for
the little and thoughtful
things they do for us
that save us just the same
~~~
Those with the courage to look within and be who they are.. True to all and themselves.
Children and adults ( caregivers of ) that suffer through cancer and other severe illnesses.
People who in spite of trauma ( abuse and other horrors many cannot fathom ) draw from within and go on .. showing the world an example of goodness and strength
Those that protect, serve and guard us with often little or no recognition ( Firefighters, police, armed forces )
To those above and you I offer

I love all types of music - Country, Pop, Rock, Ambient, Celtic, Alternative and Classical as my world has always been filled with music .. but do lean to the softer and lyrics with meaning for me although .. it depends truly on my mood and surroundings..
