as god commands

 “As God commands

clouds with the wind
The flower in the meadow
The bird to its nest
The sea next to the sand
As God commands
The ice with the cold
It’s what I want
Always be by your side
Always stay with you”

Como Dios Manda - La Santa Cecilia

lullabye

 

Goodnight, my angel

Now it's time to dream
And dream how wonderful your life will be
Someday your child may cry
And if you sing this lullaby
Then in your heart
There will always be a part of me

Someday we'll all be gone
But lullabies go on and on...
They never die
That's how you
And I
Will be

Billy Joel

Men

 It's the men who have the power, it's the men who have the might

And the world's a place of horror because each man thinks he's right
A man's home is his castle so the family let him in
But what's important in that kingdom is the women and the children

A husband and a father, every man's a king
But he's really just a drone, gathers no honey, has no sting
Have pity on the general, the king, and the captain
They know they're expendable, after all they're men

"Men"  Loudon Wainwright III

These were Roger Ebert's Final Words

 

He looked ever peaceful

He looked ever young
Accepting his moment that soon would be done
He wrote in a note
That he passed to his wife
As he felt him shedding the skin of this life

It said
"There is a vastness that can't be contained
Or described as a thought in the flesh of our brain
It's everything, everywhere, future and past
Dissolving together in an eternal flash"

Worth no words to say that he loved her so much
His hands seems to pass through whatever it touched
And the credits that rolled listed all of God's names
As images floated away from their frames
From their frames

-"Roger Ebert" by Clem Snider

Spider John

 That is all my story

Been these thirty years since I took to the road
Find my precious jewel one
If you see my lily, won't you give her my regards
Tell her ol' spider got tangled
In the black web that he spun

You can tell her that ol' spider got tangled
In the black web that he spun

some peoples lives

 Some people's lives run down like clocks

One day they stop and that's all they've got

Some lives wear out like old tennis shoes

No one can use, well, it's sad but it's true

Didn't anybody tell them?

Didn't anybody see?

Didn't anybody love them

Like you love me?

      -Janis Ian

Don't let me come home a stranger

 Will there come a time when the memories fade.

and pass on with the long, long years,
When the ties no longer bind?
Lord save me from this darkest fear.
Don't let me come home a stranger,
I couldn't stand to be a stranger.
