LISTEN

Thursday, June 23, 2016

Tomorrow, Friday, June 24, 2016, Jack and I will celebrate our 44^th Wedding Anniversary.  I re-wrote the lyrics to my song (LISTEN) today.  The original Listen was written by me when I was fifteen years of age:

LISTEN

Listen, listen, listen to my heart beat; it’s beating sounds of grief.

You told me that you wanted me, and that you love me so,

But, then, one day, I turned back to look, and that’s when I watched you go.

You walked with her and held her close, and looked into her eyes,

And I can almost hear your words right now; those sweet but cheating lies.

I know that I was treated wrong, made a fool of and was cheated,
But, Babe, I love you so much, I don’t care how I’ve been treated.

Listen, listen, listen to my heart cry, it’s crying out in pain.

Through these years, I’ve loved you so much; when you left I thought I’d go insane.

Girl, if you’re out there listening, well, there’s some things you ought to know:

My Angel and I want to know, why did you pick her Daddy out?

I know that I was treated wrong, made a fool of and was cheated,But, Babe, when you’re out on the town, well there’s a fool here who still loves you so.

So, listen, listen, listen to my heart beat...

GET ALONG OR MOVE ALONG

If we could all just get along...husband and wife, parents and children, brothers and sisters, all of the in-laws and everyone not mentioned, including dogs, we could all live happily ever after.  Do something.  Be somebody.  Help everyone.  In all ways, be last.  Amen.
