In my short lifetime of almost eighty years I have seen a lot
My grandfather on my mother’s side never flew in a plane
Yet you should’ve seen him drive his brand-new Packard
I fell out of the back seat while playing war games
My grandmother was not ready to let me go
And hung on to my hand as I dragged on
Down the road a foot in front of the back tire
On the rear wheel of that fine new Packard
Grandpa Wright said woah nellie and we
Rumbled on down the road at breakneck speed
When he found the brake we stopped short
I looked at my shoes first time I wore out tops
Before I wore out the bottoms, I was sure
We are the children of the parents we chose
Living the dream of life on this grand old man
Nurtured by our loving earthly mother nature
Being the persons we choose to be and are
Being the lovers of life or the creators of dark
We achieve that for which we ask for alone
One with the divine or left out in cold sure
We are one, we are one soul mind brain pure
Soul mind brain alignment as we are all one
Being faithful and true is the best we can do
My father’s dad flew to New York then a boat to Sweden
His homeland and the land of my paternal grandmother too
They returned every other year to see family and friends
I never went with them and today I regret it let me tell you
I think it would’ve been a blast to see the land that raised
Two loving people who were good to us even to a fault
Their friends and family must’ve been exceedingly proud
Of two who went to America and achieved the best here
Engineer of engineers was he and devoted couple were they
Life is love and that was their destiny in the new world
Living in Virginia’s capital and having a super friend
Also from Scandinavia living next door to bug them
And compete who was best the Danes or Swedes
My dad spoke Swedish with them when they didn’t
Want me to know what they were talking about
I wonder now what they were saying about me
We are the children of the parents we chose
Living the dream of life on this grand old man
Nurtured by our loving earthly mother nature
Being the persons we choose to be and are
Being the lovers of life or the creators of dark
We achieve that for which we ask for alone
One with the divine or left out in cold sure
We are one, we are one soul mind brain pure
Soul mind brain alignment as we are all one
Being faithful and true is the best we can do
My mom was a southern Virginia girl and didn’t forget
How to discipline two challenging yet interesting children
We knew how to bug each other and parents to boot
We didn’t know how to turn it off sometimes and oops
When my dad got involved it was time to regroup
And calm down and as he would say without remorse
“Gentle boys make gentlemen” understand that son
Their marriage wasn’t made in heaven, but here on earth
They had their challenges and solidly stuck it out for us
Am I a better person for their love? I think yes now
Not perfect am I, a little too quiet and shy for sure
Then out there and talking with everyone and wow
They respond with interesting reason every single person
Is different for sure, unique in their own personality
It seems we learn from every person we encounter
That we are all cut from the same sheet of music
Just singing our own personal and individual song
Knowing that we must always let others sing along
Singing the good words singing the good lyrics
Singing to praise the good where we find it
Knowing we are all in this boat together on the sea
Playing the game as we are teammates you and me
Winning the game is not an option it’s the way to play
When we have the best of the best to do and say
Love is our goal for the whole world every day
Love for the creative light of our universal play.
We are the children of the parents we chose
Living the dream of life on this grand old man
Nurtured by our loving earthly mother nature
Being the persons we choose to be and are
Being the lovers of life (Light) or the creators of dark
We achieve that for which we ask for alone
One with the divine or left out in cold sure
We are one, we are one soul mind brain pure
Soul mind brain alignment as we are all one
Being faithful and true is the best we can do
Now let’s write the music,
Just a couple of thoughts on the Covid-19 pandemic. We are in this mess and we may choose to do better this fall and winter. Wear mask, wash hands, wear clear glasses and/or face shield. I was at a very busy craft faire today and was talking to mother and daughter pair. Mom was masked, daughter not. I talked the daughter into putting on her mask. I looked her in the eye from 6 feet away and said, “You do not want the virus. Yes, you are young, but you are not invincible. Besides your mom does not deserve to catch it from you.
We hear that the Whitehouse is a ghost town. Nobody is there much anymore. 34 people have tested positive for Coronavirus. Mr. Trump got 100,000 dollars worth of care. I wonder what the other Whitehouse staffers are getting. Do you?
Stay safe! Trust everyone and tie your camel as they say. The eye of the needle is a small door that lets you and the camel in. It does not let the overburdened camel with goods tied to its side in. It does not let the person in who is carrying huge arms full of extra goods.
Focus on the good true and lovable. Focus up! 1 inch above and between the tops of your ears. Do it and record the response we trust it is the highest good for the greatest number. E.S, N.
