Can't walk on water but can trudge on ice

Seems a bit crazy but is really quite nice,

With a torn signature coat

This soul reminds US-All not to gloat.

Seeing a twinkle in his eye

 We start to wonder why

"Is this his or our choice?"

Do any of us really have a clear voice?

How can we make some noise and 

Ask what's going on for all of us girls and boys?

Is it all about wearing fancy pants, 

Knowing the moves and how to 'really dance'?

What roles can we play in a movie, 

The down-to-earth ones or only ones that are groovy?

Regarding HOT Cars, Do as I Say, and Don't Take Risks (speeding or leaving people in them) Unnecessarily--good advice for US All to Implement Daily, even Hourly and More...

Thanks for all your hard work with others at this time of Memorial Day 2016 and many projects for years now from politics locally and on the state level to important outreach about difficult topics such as opiate addiction, Brian Ohler and friends. This thread on FB Northwest Corner Chatter along with the earlier announcements about the Memorial Day events happening on the radio, in the newspaper and elsewhere give people time to reflect even if they did not have a way to attend the services. ( I shared this on the Northwest Corner Chatter FB page, which is a closed group of 3K or so.
