I knew before you opened your mouth
A final farewell
i knew before you opened your mouth
truthfully i’ve known for some time
is it odd that i feel proud
to see you finally
step up to the plate?
i know you’re scared
i am, too
farewell

Hometown Hero
They say heroes are made in the worst of times, and I suppose they are correct. For the vast majority of my life, I've been a common man. I have a wife and three children. I have always been a God-fearing man, and I've attended church every Sunday since I was nine years old.
