The Carefree Life

Go where the world takes you
From here to Timbuktu
For all things good will come
And adventures just for you

Living life
On the fly
Never bothering
To question why

How you ended
Up to be
Living life
So carefree

And happy

Tomorrow I’m Dead

Tomorrow I’m dead
Yes, it may be so
I never may know
When I will go

So I live each day
As if it was my last
Helping so many
Living well but not fast

Giving and loving
All that I meet
It’s come to be easy
Not a big feat

And where ever I go
Good people know
Of the love and the kindness
I always will show

And in the end
I live a better life
For everyone
Kind of nice, don’t you think?

Death and Rebirth

The storm raged outside
Fire in the clouds, darkness all around
Uh! I am dead!

I must confide
My life seemed so sound
The smell of crepes, not dread

The sweet breakfast of my past
The stress of my work now seems faint
The spiral of the worlds stand quiet now

The winds of my new future will not last
And gone will be the taint
And a new life will begin, but I know not where or how

I am reborn.

Life Happens

Whatever happened to dreams come true
Whatever happened to me and you
We live far apart
No life and no art
The things that made us
Who we are
In the past
Far away
Adventures to work
No time to go play
Alone I go work
Money for time
Dreams changed to exhaustion
Stress and fine wine
What is so good
About the good things in life
When all I want
Is time with my wife

More Thoughts on Life

What happened to those adventures
We used to take
When we were oh so young
What happened to those plans
We used to make
They always seemed like fun

But now we sit
And drudge away
This life we almost live
And dream of the past
When we used to play
Oh what I wouldn’t give

To be there again with you

Thoughts on Life

When we were young
And oh so poor
How happy we used to be

But now we’re old
With money’s score
A sorrowful sight to see

He is Calling

Life is filled
With ups and downs
Sunny smiles
And cloudy frowns

But no matter the weather
Life’s season brings
The truth of Jesus
Always rings

Calling us home
To rest in his care
Answering in his own way
Our every prayer

For he listens and watches
Over us all
And if you quietly listen
You’ll hear him call

Each one of us by name
To follow him
