Awesome Responsibility

Awesome responsibility must you have at current;
To decide what is best for us, even after final judgment!
Better to be in a steady frame of mind-
Than, surely, to have a 'monster' to hide behind!

Where is the menace now- is it still to be found-
No telling where it has gone- it is nowhere around?
Believe you must, in what I tell-
'Always the truth', the mantra you did sell!

Then too there is you, do you need the truth-
So it is said, then it shall be, taken it has back to our youth?
She is you and I can see, a lot of Gabriella inside of me!
Picture you must what is right- for more, we four- we!

Missing my family each day that passes;
More and more still- as days pass with flashes!
