Farley was twisting a new tale his feet on the *** belly stove There in our barn, he'd spin a yarn piling on like a treasure trove "You know I don't think I told you how I won the second World War" "Ole Ike, needed help with the ***** and he looked to me and the corps" "Again my country called on me Ike wanted us to break the line" "Well I told Dwight, schedule a flight just drop me this side of the Rhine" "So my men and I took the field we lay waste such a German swath" "Led all the men, yep there and then survived only on bread and broth" "Well we sought no recognition we let Ike spin his fairy tale" "We were fine, drinking Hitler’s wine just happy to blaze the trail" Later that night Farley took watch he had come by to check the feed Out from the night, came a bright light Farley happily fed their need He claimed that he had been kidnapped aliens from space sought him out They had been sold, on stories told and assumed him a man with clout Of course he didn't go freely he took out a dozen or two Scared them so bad, they were all glad to head off into the wild blue Farley claimed many a patent he invented all the great things Held universities, degrees knew all the heads of state and kings He’d served in World War One and Two circumnavigated the globe Hung out on the Nile, for awhile invented Nasa's first space probe "You know boys" he would always say "there are a couple things I'm not" "Attention grabbing, back stabbing" "though I've won every fight I've fought" When the iced wind blew through the trees and the cold air kept us all down We warmed each face, at Farley’s place where he entertained half the town Tate

So what if you have a big belly? So what if you have a pretty face? So what if you wear a little makeup, Or if you have a tiny waist? So what if you don't have *** Or if you keep 'em coming back for more? So what if you got that operation And renamed yourself Titti Galore? So what if your complexion is darker, Or if your skin is pale and white? So what if your name is Muhammad? Or Sharkeisha, Wu, or Dwight? So what if they say that you're different? Normality is subjective. And if they want to attack you, Curse words make very fine adjectives.

So What?
Alan had stood at our open door, Shaking and white with fright, First he was speaking to Eleanor, Then had a word with Dwight. ‘What seems the problem,’ I said to him, (My name, by the way, is Bill), ‘Haven’t you seen it,’ he said to me, ‘It’s moving, McAvanagh’s Hill!’ I went to the door and I looked on out, The hill seemed to still be in place, On closer inspection, it seemed to me It had moved to the south, a trace. ‘It must be a trick of the light,’ I said, A hill is a hill and can’t move,’ ‘But look at McCafferty’s,’ Alan said, ‘It’s settling down in a groove.’ And true, but McCafferty’s roof had moved, It used to stand up on the height, The moon would come up just behind his roof And highlight his house every night. His house had dropped down the back of the hill Or the top of the hill was too high, ‘Now isn’t that strange?’ I said in a muse, And Dwight said, ‘I wonder why?’ The rumbling, grumbling started that night But deep in the earth, underneath, And Eleanor came in a panic to cry, ‘There’s movement, out there on the heath!’ We ran to the garden, and under the moon We could see the heath starting to tilt, As slowly it moved, and then it became The rising front side of the hill. Alan ran home and brought back a gun He said, ‘I feel better with this!’ ‘You think you can stop it by firing a gun?’ ‘At least with a hill, you can’t miss. There’s something behind it, something so weird, A hill can’t just move by itself.’ Then Eleanor suddenly burst into tears, ‘The Devil’s come into the Dell!’ We didn’t get very much sleep that night, We took it in turns just to watch, The nearer the movement came up to our door The more Alan knocked off my Scotch. We felt the first tilt of the house next day, Our porch was beginning to rise, The hill loomed above us, and leaning back, The house pointed up to the skies. McCafferty’s house had quite disappeared As it slid down the other side, While our house was on the way to the top, It was really a question of pride. McCafferty lorded it over us all As long as his house was on top, But now he came racing along, was appalled, ‘I order this movement to stop!’ ‘I know you’re behind it, you’ve conjured a scheme, What set this in motion, Bill?’ I shrugged and I mentioned that my hands were clean, ‘It is, after all, just a hill!’ ‘My real estate value just fell through the floor, I’ll sue if you don’t move it back!’ ‘Then go for it Buddy, there isn’t a court That can order a hill… See you Jack.’ We’re sitting in clover, our house at the top Of what was McAvanagh’s Hill, For once it had moved, it suddenly stopped And now it’s the Hill of Bill! McCafferty sits down the hill in a glade And he rages at everyone, While Alan’s deluded, he swears at this stage That it stopped when it noticed his gun. David Lewis Paget

Smile Standing here by your side, Hands in pockets, As I silently cry, Try not to breath Try not to scream Everyone’s dressed in black and white, And all of these feelings are so hard fight, Heads bowed down in silence and prayer And I stand alone silent and scared Trying not to breath Trying not scream Trying to be strong without you I can’t be strong And I’m scared and alone I want to go home To the comfort of your eyes To your sweet lullabies And I’m scared and alone Why wont you come back home I miss your caring eyes And your sweet lullabies I stand here and pray That I might wake From this horrible day That I might see you once more Instead of alone and crying on the floor And I’m scared and alone I want to go home To the comfort of your eyes To your sweet lullabies And I’m scared and alone Why wont you come back home I miss your caring eyes As I lay by your side And I fall asleep to your sweet lullabies -Matthew Dwight (Written for his Papa)

Nightdream's B Office
Few of us are blessed to find a calling While in our youth, before our prime, To leave but know the farm's the thing, The earthly place we'll spend our time. The Thiessen farm is ordered, neat, Equipment, houses, corrals and sheds, A visual treat, each row a street To show the order in Dwight's head. The old earth tracks the sun around, Each spinning lap marks coming years, Sees loved ones laid to rest in ground, Brings little ones to stem our tears. A weary circle - life, and few Are those who see how they are blessed; Dwight, Diana found that it would do To farm, raise kids, thank God for rest. One day, a doctor said the words No one desires to hear, but still, This couple prayed, they didn't swerve From praying for God's sovereign will. Back to the farm, the couple drove, Held close in prayer by friends Aware that good comes from above Aware that everything must end Dwight breathed one final breath, was gone; He left and didn't say good-bye. But, oh! what air then filled his lungs, Celestial breath in heaven high!!!! -------------------- Dwight's leaving reminds me of an old song by Don Wyrtzen (1971) "Finally Home"  https://youtu.be/sBZe2nWRSjU?si=bTriiCVgoucus8Eb . When engulfed by the terror of the tempestuous sea, Unknown waves before you roll; At the end of doubt and peril is eternity, Though fear and conflict seize your soul. But just think of stepping on shore-And finding it Heaven! Of touching a hand-And finding it God's! Of breathing new air-And finding it celestial! Of waking up in glory-And finding it home! When surrounded by the blackness of the darkest night, O how lonely death can be; At the end of this long tunnel is a shining light, For death is swallowed up in victory! But just think of stepping on shore-And finding it Heaven! Of touching a hand-And finding it God's! Of breathing new air-And finding it celestial! Of waking up in glory-And finding it home!

#                                           Timothy Dwight (1752–1817) COLUMBIA, Columbia, to glory arise, The queen of the world, and the child of the skies! Thy genius commands thee; with rapture behold, While ages on ages thy splendors unfold. Thy reign is the last, and the noblest of time, Most fruitful thy soil, most inviting thy clime; Let the crimes of the east ne’er encrimson thy name, Be freedom, and science, and virtue thy fame. To conquest and slaughter let Europe aspire; Whelm nations in blood, and wrap cities in fire; Thy heroes the rights of mankind shall defend, And triumph pursue them, and glory attend. A world is thy realm: for a world be thy laws, Enlarged as thine empire, and just as thy cause; On freedom’s broad basis, that empire shall rise, Extend with the main, and dissolve with the skies. Fair Science her gates to thy sons shall unbar, And the east see thy morn hide the beams of her star. New bards, and new sages, unrivall’d shall soar To fame unextinguish’d, when time is no more; To thee, the last refuge of virtue designed, Shall fly from all nations the best of mankind; Here, grateful to heaven, with transport shall bring Their incense, more fragrant than odors of spring. Nor less shall thy fair ones to glory ascend, And genius and beauty in harmony blend; The graces of form shall awake pure desire, And the charms of the soul ever cherish the fire; Their sweetness unmingled, their manners refined, And virtue’s bright image, instamp’d on the mind With peace, and soft rapture, shall teach life to glow, And light up a smile in the aspect of woe. Thy fleets to all regions thy power shall display, The nations admire, and the ocean obey; Each shore to thy glory its tribute unfold, And the east and the south yield their spices and gold. As the day-spring unbounded, thy splendor shall flow, And earth’s little kingdoms before thee shall bow: While the ensigns of union, in triumph unfurl’d, Hush the tumult of war, and give peace to the world. Thus, as down a lone valley, with cedars o’erspread, From war’s dread confusion I pensively stray’d— The gloom from the face of fair heaven retired; The winds ceased to murmur; the thunders expired; Perfumes, as of Eden, flow’d sweetly along, And a voice, as of angels, enchantingly sung: “Columbia, Columbia, to glory arise, The queen of the world and the child of the skies.”

As the day-spring unbounded, thy splendor shall flow, And earth’s little kingdoms before thee shall bow: While the ensigns of union, in triumph unfurl’d, Hush the tumult of war, and give peace to the world. Thus, as down a lone valley, with cedars o’erspread, From war’s dread confusion I pensively stray’d— The gloom from the face of fair heaven retired; The winds ceased to murmur; the thunders expired; Perfumes, as of Eden, flow’d sweetly along, And a voice, as of angels, enchantingly sung: “Columbia, Columbia, to glory arise, The queen of the world and the child of the skies.”

For 9 seasons, I sat I watched 10 years of their lives unfold in front of cameras It was a nice break from my own reality I enjoyed the laughs I enjoyed the cries I will never forget the times I laughed so hard that I cried I gasped when I saw Michael come back A reunion I waited so long for “Michael. I can’t believe you actually came.” Smiles were exchanged Then his famous catch phrase “That’s what she said.” Oh how I laughed An exaggerated knee slap laugh Now I’m crying because it’s over So I bid my farewell Goodbye Michael, Jim, Pam, Dwight, Stanley, Meredith, Phyllis, Andy, Erin, Darryl, Creed, Toby, Angela, Oscar, Kevin, Kelly, and Ryan THE ONES THAT MATTERED

9 Seasons, 10 Years Of Their Lives
Glass shattered by water on water from the skies, Clouds interfere with the stars that are trying to shine. Closer to the edge we’re drawn, where shallows drop off fast, The stories of magnificents that fall beyond the past. Farther from the waters there lives an old oak tree, When wished upon by fathers will bring them what they need, To any heart that has no greed, accepted by the tree, So the myths will live on longer as they are unbelived. So drawn unto the waves again, the depth of death remains, The mystery that lies beyond, impure and carries pain, Of travelers and sufferers and those who take their lives The people that will laugh and scream, and call this all delight. So walk on past the suds and **** see through the clouds at night, There’s nothing that is stopping you, this isn’t urban Dwight, Do stop to drink his wine again another day to lose, If you step into the waters not watching how they move.
