Billy Shiel runs boat trips
On sunny northern days
Towards the Longstone Lighthouse
A pinnacle of the waves
Past two hundred thousand sea birds
A rare sight to behold
Sometimes even a seal or two
Come close if feeling bold
But it's the lighthouse Billy loves the most
The edge of land and sea
If only he didn't have bills to pay
Longstone is where he wants to be
When you think of heroes, who comes to mind?
Who inspires you the most?
Could it be a sports athlete on the court or the field?
It could be fictional characters like Spider-Man or The S.H.I.E.L.D.
Maybe it's one of your teachers in school;
Or your best friends who are just like you, totally cool.
Your pastor in church, a doctor or nurse,
Your parents/grandparents who warn you not to curse:
It might be your neighbor you see everyday
Or someone in the military fighting for the USA.
A famous singer, an actor, an activist;
A guidance counselor, your siblings, possibly a therapist;
Maybe a police officer or firefighter? That's a pretty long list.
So who do you look up to as your hero?
Think before you answer and try not to boast.
Not all heroes wear capes, as you can see,
But there is a hero inside of you and me.
Blazing torches hearts are pulsing in sequence,
A throbbing heart that was evidently struck.
Consciousness made the ultimate sacrifice,
What a groovy way to honor the demon's sunk.
A throbbing heart that was evidently struck,
My presence will be embraced with a haven.
What a groovy way to honor the demon's sunk,
In close zone to a rushing river in the garden.
My presence will be embraced with a haven,
Predators, both animal, and avian, squabble.
In a close zone to a rushing river in the garden,
My mind wandered aimlessly among faunal.
Predators, both animal, and avian, squabble,
Joining in the period that nature was having.
My mind wandered aimlessly among faunal,
Meet under the shiel of this spot for resting.
Joining in the period that nature was having,
Consciousness made the ultimate sacrifice.
Meet under the shiel of this spot for resting,
Blazing torches hearts are pulsing in sequence.

A man with a star on his chest and a star on his shield...
Is he fictionous or is he for real?
He goes on missions with his friend Bucky
They fight for our freedom and always get lucky.
Their nemesis is the evil Red Skull
Experiences with him never are dull.
Coming to aid is the brave Falcon,
Fighting with cap all of the seasons.
Then there is agent 13; the lovely Sharon Carter
She's the love interest of Cap, and a little bit smarter.
And the leading agent is the colonel Nicholas Fury
He's always up for adventure and part of the story.
So many people, all part of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Real or not, they are all part of the deal.

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr.©2018
There is a place in Scotland
Where a historic family reside
They stand proud in their surroundings
In the Scottish countryside
If you desire to view them
To the Northwest Highlands you must go
For at this time of year
They are capped with virgin snow
So head towards Glen Shiel
For they lie, between two Scottish Lochs
Cluanie and Duich
Where many tourists flock
Mountaineers and hill walkers
Grace, as they prevail
The family that i talk off
The Five Sisters of Kintail
