Analysis of A Good Example
Darkness pursues,
Whether you’re ready,
Or not, it’s the blues.
Turn on the TV.
And watch the news.
You see the cues.
See how it’s mostly bad,
The tossed is sad.
Whether it’s 9/11
Or some other thing,
They won’t let you forget,
At least there is grit.
A shadow covers it all.
All of the heroes stand tall.
They risk their lives
Like thrown knives.
Will it hit an apple?
Or will the hero topple?
God is thankful
And to heaven they fly.
Whether it’s good or bad,
God is sure glad.
Shadow or not,
They are a good example.
