When are we going to read a Colonel original again??
Sara is wonderful, but so are you!! :-)
Well, aren't you nice .. let me see what I can do. :)
The quiet man sits silent by the window
His eye will ruthlessly see all around
And even though he wishes otherwise
This world cannot escape his sightless gaze.
He sees bare lies, dark motives seen as plain
Stark coldness of the world remains in view
Saddened now, he tries to look away
He knows that life must offer more than this.
Downtrodden heart, from where does hope arise?
To victory we know we all are born
But broken eyes and broken hearts agree
The road is long and never seems to end
He pays the check and wraps against the cold
But smiles despite the long and longer odds
To fight the fight is what will lead to triumph
A power even ruthless eyes will see.
