The Glory

I found a photograph taken in your Navy days
Your gaze is enigmatic the shading is dramatic
The hollow in your cheekbone
And the challenge in your stare

This photo shows your hapless side
Misfortune written in the lines
But then I see the kid I knew and your humor shining through
And I see your kindness, too

And the glory
The glory of your life
Your story could cut me like a knife
But when it came down to it
You laughed right through it
Short and sweet yet not incomplete
It's The Glory of your life

I remember when you stayed with me
We watched my roommate's pay TV
We watched My Name Is Nobody
A satire cowboy comedy
And something about a plate of beans had us gasping for our breath
Yes we laughed so hard it made us cry
When the hero slapped that rat faced guy
I can still replay that scene
You and me and a TV screen
And the stark raving beauty of the moment

Oh and the glory
The glory of your life
Your story could cut me like a knife
But when it came down to it
You laughed right through it
Short and sweet yet not incomplete
It's The Glory of your life
Short and sweet yet not incomplete
It's The Glory of your life
