"JOYOUS RIDE"
This night, at this time of doom, Angels hover near,
Suddenly ominious clouds appear and slowly fade away
A soul goes soaring on an unknown flight as radiant stars form a splendid light.
Whilst dancing across the skies a journey, not the end has began.
Old transgressions are forgotten.
New faiths and obedience linger here with our savior who is just and pure
This soul will abide.
Lord thank you for the lift.

“DISTRESSED”
Listen: you think you have problems?
I’ve been walked on, tracked on, stomped on, And I’ve suffered countless abuse.
Although I feel pain, I will not complain, I’ll just shrug and say ‘oh well’ you see I am Only a rug.

"SOMEWHERE BETWEEN HEAVEN AND HELL"
Many times I’ve heard Satan ringing his bell, and many times I’ve answered and stumbled and fell, only to find troubles to greet me and defeat me as well.
So my life was a mess and where I’d end up was anyone’s guess. Now as I face deaths door, gone are the drinking and smoking along with my health and money
On material things I may now possess, don’t mean a thing, but I can remember now, while I am still alive, the love of wife and my family and I’ve been blessed.
I’ll leave it at this and pray to Jesus to handle the rest.

“WHY”
I stand at the grave. I know I must be brave.
I will not cry, I’ll just bite my lip and try to understand why, we have to die.
They say the answer is in the sky, If this is so and it is true maybe that’s why heaven is blue and rainbows fall back to earth when a storm has passed, and our lives are through, the grass is always wet with dew.
