"Wanted, girl Friday to be on her own,
Take-charge skills -also answer the phone.
Sophisticated office and the pay is high,
Only the intelligent need to apply."

Finished it off...

There's a symbol for our justice,
    Holding scales while she is blind.

while looking for that needle in a haystack
A Little Mermaid bassinet and baby stroller set
Puppies with adorable eyes, and vintage eight tracks ...

I was on a mission of my own
Got caught up by her charms
Wanted to spend a little time
Wrapped up in her arms

Missing from my duty station
The captain was fit to be tied

a casual conversation
breakfast and promise
but a phone number lost
and memories linger
over prairies  plains  distance
I look for stars

just off the off ramp
fields grown
a factory repurposed
but beyond light
I look for stars

a glistening runway
an airport preserved
private flights only
or...

But it was GOD, the Father,...
