What will you do?

What happens when the darkness comes home

Will you scream in the night

Will you

Or will you turn on a light

When the sun falls fast on the days you feel the sun

Will you turn from the end

Will you

Will you put on a smile and pretend

What happens when the sadness permeates your soul

Will you turn it onto others

Will you

Will you forsake your brothers

When the good times abound, what will you do

Will you forget where you had to start

Will you

Or will you show others your heart

Will you laugh in the face of the last moonlight

Running into the fray without a hope in sight

Will you

Or will you stand and watch the fading of the light

What do you do when all the joy has passed

Will you stand until you are tired

Will you

Or will you be prematurely expired

When all is lost, what will you do

Will you rebuild

Will you

Will you be skilled

Will you be the one who beats all the odds

What will you do if that comes true

Will you be generous and noble

Will you

What happens when they tell you your time is short

What will you do to become immortal

Will you

Will you have lived a life worth remembering

When the pain comes at night

Will you do something with that time alone

Will you

Will you do something other than waste it on your phone

Will you ever be happy

In a world so maddeningly insane

Or will you

Take the chance to dance in the rain

Will you be that one that is unshaken

Will you be the one that is unbreakable

Will you

Or will you become a victim of that which was unshakable

From fiction to reality there’s tons to share about this crazy life. From being a single father, an officer, and having had many insane adventures while I learned about the world, my imagination runs wild with ideas.
