This Boy Is Yours
by Michael Doyle
This boy is yours is engraved on my heart
Always to stay and never to depart
My love will always be there and be true
That is as long as you want me too
My home is in your beautiful eyes
In the night time and at sunrise
Yours is a love that is beyond compare
And your style has an incomparable flair

Together We Will Stand
by Michael Doyle
There is now in this time of history
A grain going against the orthodoxy
That states that the power rests in populism
Despite the modern move against nationalism
Today, a certain set wishes our knees to bow
As if to forget the reasons behind our Constitution somehow
The elite wishes to cut limbs off the family tree
And in doing so, does a disservice to our liberty
It takes a unique man to seek the People's empowerment
Against a deep state that bows smugly to government
Having lost as they have all sense and capacity
Of understanding the meaning of our Founders' legacy
The best days are the days our values are on display
Amounting to the mark that must be met each day
The things that are most important are God and family
Followed quite closely by devotion to our country
For this we must stand strong against the mobocracy
That passes for the indiscriminate throngs of democracy
Thinking that government must grow in setting regulation
Pretending this then is the business of our nation
Keeping a conservative court centered on the rule of law
Is the principle we must fight for most of all
If we are to keep our country the land of the brave and free
We must keep our courts safe from encroachments on our liberty
Shoulder to shoulder, we stand together in this fight
To keep our City on the Hill shining as a guiding light
Still offering hope to a world filled with darkness
As a symbol and anchor of dreams in a world of harshness
Let there never be someone wondering aloud the question
Of why good people failed to act without hesitation
We must determine now to fight for the right of our land
This is the crucial turning point if we fail to understand
A champion fights for founding principle after principle
Withstanding the critical deluge and for what is Biblical
The victory is ours well served if we stay our course
Our honorable republic is midstream against a decadent force
We must carry on for the good of our treasured country
Staying strong for our dearest and best kept liberty
Let us stand together in our struggle to keep freedom
Now more than ever, we need and pray for God's wisdom

With You On This Day's Journey
by Michael Doyle
If I were to allow myself to dream
And then to make it real as it seems
It would be this dream of me and you
With all the beauty you bring and do
To live a smile is the love that you bring
Like the melody of a song I live to sing
Every day brings us closer in our heart
Shared as we have from our very start
I wake up in my morning thinking of you
Cherishing your heart that is so true
You're every bit this man's pure treasure
All the things I want, you exceed beyond measure
So proud to see you reach for your stars
No matter the distance, you are never far
I wanted you to know this that I'm feeling
Behind these words is a soul I'm revealing
Hoping that when forever comes to its end
You will still be here with me as my best friend
To love and cherish in a way we won't forget
Our bond under God is one of love and respect
So before I begin again this day's journey
I wanted you to know what you mean to me
A thank you said with words of appreciation
And to let you know that you are my inspiration

The Rise and Fall of Boethius
by Michael Doyle
Graven images are made and meant to save
When Christianity met Plato's cave
Offering more than shadows on the wall
A philosophical bend had come to call
Christ was both the Father and the Son
Joined with Wisdom as a triune one
God was creator and all else the created
Anything put differently was believed fabricated
And this then caused issues of much dispute
Causing many a good hearted man ill repute
And still with the Romans heaping on cruelty
The brave hearts of Christians lived as testimony
For certainly even in the Roman Empire's tolerance
Belief in the Trinity required much forbearance
In assaulting waves ending in Diocletian's repression
The goal became Christianity's near fatal suppression
Until finally Constantine came in the sign of the Cross
To win miraculous victory over what was certain loss
Believing this good measure, he converted to Christianity
Surrendering to God even his position's professed divinity
This conversion nearly lost the Roman Empire's West
Though Constantinople endured in the East as if a test
As the Goths wrested their control into prosperity
And then came Boethius with all of his grace and dignity
Gathering the works of legacy and tempered heritage
Under the encouragement of Theodoric's patronage
The quest again become of a good man doing some good
Doing what was needed as best as that might be understood
Trying to do this good and bring about needed reformation
He fought for decency and justice angering some of the nation
These then fell on him with false cries of treason and blasphemy
And Boethius would then fall under the hands of his enemies
