When I’m In Heaven

        Everyday there’s a mindset
There’s always a tomorrow
But life can be taken in an instant
Leaving behind a trail of pain and sorrow

I’ve lived a life and still
I feel I’ve got a life to live
The Lords gift I did receive
And of myself I give

When I was young I was
Full of energy and fire
But now I’m sixty three
And I just want to retire

I’m done with work and I want to
Enjoy living while I’m still alive
But the laws for social security
Says I must wait until sixty five

There’s talk on table now they’re
Thinking of raising it to sixty seven
The way things are going I’ll be applying
For my SS When I’m In Heaven

Fortissimo

       I’ve written music is my mistress
I’ve told you that I love her so much
When I’m down and feeling low
My lady music has the healing touch

She knows when to just
Hold me and let me cry
Or pick me up and spin me around
But she never passes me by

She knows when to be mellow
And take it easy and slow
She knows how to move me
And go with the flow

Sometimes I just need to
Release the animal from the cage
Jump in the air and scream
Like a Rock Star on the stage

I can honestly say I appreciate her
Romantic caressing Pianissimo
But my favorite lady is the
One that Rocks me Fortissimo

Unseen Reality

     Since the beginning and eternal
In the realms of time and space
The battle for souls rages on as
Physical death constantly takes place

So it was written so it shall be done
Good verses Evil Earth, Heaven & Hell
In the words of the ancient text
It says that Good will prevail

Jesus was Crucified on the Cross
The Blood was Shed
Nothing was Left undone
No words were left unsaid

You can stand your own ground
You can hold steadfast and deny
As the final hour continues to grow near
Where will you be when things go awry

I’ve put my Faith in the written word
I have chosen Jesus and the Lords Decree
It’s time for you to open your eyes and
Let them see the Unseen Reality

Heavy Sigh

      I’m just every day people
I’m just trying to get by
When life knocks me down
It sets me back, I won’t lie

But I get back up, it’s all I can do
Ain’t got no time to dwell or cry
Each day I succeed or I fail
But each day I still try

I’ve learned some lessons and
I put effort into making them apply
I always try to remember
I’m under the watch of God’s eye

He’s taught me that the past is gone
And every hello will have a goodbye
Forgiveness is the key and
I must strive to be a good guy

We must carry on and praise
The Lord in our Heavenly Sky
For it’s inevitable we all experience
Our joys and an occasional Heavy Sigh

Today I am attending my late Brother
Steve’s celebration of life and
Heavy Sigh was his catch phrase
So in his honor 😢Steve, Heavy Sigh
Dude Heavy Sigh!!!

I’m No Charlemagne

     My name is Charles
AKA Chuck But I’m not great
At age sixty three sometimes
I walk with an unsteady gait

Sometimes I get down on myself
But I can’t explain why
Sometimes I am proud to be me
Can’t please everyone but I try

When I’m working I work hard
I always try to be the best
But I am only human and in life
Sometimes I fail the test

I always ask myself
What would Jesus do
I don’t always comply
My evaluation is under further review

Sometimes I speak my mind
Your approval I’m not seeking to gain
Though I try, I know I fall short of
God’s glory and I’m No Charlemagne

To Be

       To be or not to be
Every day is a choice you see
To be or not to be
It’s a choice made easily

To be or not to be
One who is kind and friendly
To be or not to be
Or to be mean in great degree

To be or not to be
One who values integrity
To be or not to be
Or one without values despicably

To be or not to be
One who handles things with sensitivity
To be or not to be
Or one who handles things carelessly

To be or not to be
One who is Devilishly or Godly
To be or not to be
And Godly is how I choose To Be

Under A Blood Red Moon

     He was born into Evil
His mother a Witch of darkness
His father one of the Devil’s Sons
This could easily explain his Hardness

He was tall dark and handsome
He was always dressed in black
The people of the town only
Knew him as Master Jack

His reflexes were amazingly quick
He could sense another man’s fear
In fact all of his senses were powerful
Even the softest whispers he could hear

He secluded himself in a shack at the
Edge of the forest near a black lagoon
But if he came into town you could
Always find him at the Saloon

He was a natural gun slinger and it’s
Said there were many men he’s killed
For many men tried to face him but
They were unfortunately unskilled

He fell in love with Lila a beautiful
Woman and vowed to change his ways
For a brief moment in time he lived
In blissful and happy days

One night a stranger from afar came
To shoot the legend and watch him die
But Lila intervened and the bullet pierced
Her heart and Jack began to cry

He swiftly killed the stranger and once
Again secluded himself in his shack
As the story goes it was the last of
Him for he never came back

They say the fog is thicker in that
Forest near the Black Lagoon
And you can hear Master Jack cry out
For Lila at night Under A Blood Red Moon
