Writing & A Friend's Video

So I have completed my children's story and a poem. I hope to get them both published in the next year. I plan to share my poem very soon in the future when I am brave enough to share it. I also plan to share a song I wrote later on, but first I want to play it on a guitar or piano to see if I can get it to sound right.

Meanwhile, I am working on Deer Valley, getting it typed out on the computer and finishing the last chapters. Perhaps I will share a tiny piece of it before or after Christmas.

Well, I need to get back to my work, but here's a video that a friend of mine did. Enjoy!

The Good Lord and the Man



Well he was one of the millions
who signed up to defend us
long ago in 1941
when they sucker punched us in Pearl Harbor
He fought under MacArthur seventeen with an army Thompson gun







Well he stormed a lot of beaches slept in jungles with the leaches
he saw things young man should never see
and when they shot him in the shoulder
he got back up and he marched over
left a lot of brothers dead in kawagalie



If it wasn’t for the Good Lord and the man
There wouldn’t be a breath of freedom in this land
and I see people on my T.V. taking shots at uncle Sam
I hope they always remember why they can
Cause we’d all be speakin’ German livin’ under the flag of Japan
If it wasn’t for the Good Lord and the man
If it wasn’t for the Good Lord and the man



Well I’m the grandson of a soldier and I’d fight the whole world over
if duty called and freedoms on the line
but thanks to the greatest generation and the ones still fighting for our nation
I’ve never had to kill for my way of life



If it wasn’t for the Good Lord and the man
There wouldn’t be a breath of freedom in this land
and I see people on my T.V. taking shots at uncle Sam
I hope they always remember why they can
Cause we’d all be speakin’ German livin’ under the flag of Japan
If it wasn’t for the Good Lord and the man
If it wasn’t for the Good Lord and the man

Somebody



At a diner down on Broadway they make small talk
When she brings his eggs and fills his coffee cup
He jokes about his love life
And tells her he's 'bout ready to give up
That's when she says,"I've been there before
Keep on lookin'
'Cause maybe who you're lookin' for is..."

Somebody in the next car
Somebody on the morning train
Somebody in the coffee shop
That you walk right by everyday
Somebody that you look at
But never really see
Somewhere out there is somebody

Across town in a crowded elevator
He can't forget the things that waitress said
He usually reads the paper
But today he reads a stranger's face instead
It's that blue-eyed girl
From two floors up
Maybe she's the one
Maybe he could fall in love with

Somebody in the next car
Somebody on the morning train
Somebody in the coffee shop
That you walk right by everyday
Somebody that you look at
But never really see
Somewhere out there
Is somebody

Now they laugh about the moment that it happened
A moment they'd both missed until that day
When he saw his future in her eyes
Instead of just another friendly face
And he wonders why
He searched so long
When she was always there at that diner waiting on

Somebody in the next car
Somebody on the morning train
Somebody in the coffee shop
That you walk right by everyday
Somebody that you look at
But never really see
Somewhere out there
Oh somewhere out there is somebody
