A Message From Dad
Many years have passed since Dad left for Heaven........
Great was his influence, with values to believe in.
A message from Dad through the soul of another ?
It seems too mysterious, it compels me to wonder ....
Well, here is the story, please listen, don't laugh
One day near September, I think I remember
A man stood in line, he waited the time, to get my autograph
Where did this man come from? Where did he go ?
How in the world could he sense what I know ?
He wore a white hat and a handsome smile
I wish I could've known him and talked for awhile
He said "You have a beautiful soul"
He said "I love you" , this made me feel so whole
The moment soon passed as I stood in the sun
Had I only known that he was the one.
A caring soul in the world, like me, I see
With a purpose in life, a spirit who's free.
The message was simple, yet so profound
The words "I love you' were such a sweet sound
When I express my passion for life with my God-given gift
So many hearts, my songs , they can give a lift
To higher ground the intended purpose, where no person or soul is ever worthless.
I think the rich are truly rich if in their hearts, they have compassion, now that's a start
So what was this man's mission? What was his goal ?
I must always hold dearly these words I was told.
The mystery of life is so deep and confusin'
Was he sent by our Father? This man was He usin'?
A kind soul with passion is seldom in fashion
In this world gone crazy, run by the lazy
I felt this man had a soul, he retained it by standing
True to himself in a world so demanding
Like Dad planned to tell me, but words seldom given
A love for his children, the reason for livin'
Like a man with no arms, a soul can't embrace
or hold a body, or kiss a face
But the truth can set you free
And music can give a soul a new life, you see
A melody so sweet, with lyrics so true
A song has a message, it can make someone blue
Tender tunes can inspire, one must confess
They allow one to think, not like the rest
With courage to face the struggles of life,
to withstand the storms and unyielding strife,
makes a soul what it is, no matter the cost.
This is not the trait of the lost.
The weak use image to mask their milieu
Smiles and promises are often presented to you
On the way to the top we all have a choice
Seek safety with numbers or speak truth with our voice
The money, the gold, is seldom given
To a soul too honest or a heart too driven
But simple treasures of life may accumulate awhile
They're revealed by your spirit, it shows in your smile
Unlike the gold hoarded in the Wells Fargo Bank
a song gives a soul so much to thank
A kind and beautiful soul, now that's such a pleasure
We can all bank on that, it's like a national treasure
When kind people speak up in social defiance
The hearts of the meek hold hands in alliance
A message of truth, so honest and daring
Its meaning so simple from one who is caring
The riches of life, all we can hold
Are held in the soul, here is our gold
"You have a beautiful soul", "Daughter", "I love you"
Thank you for sharing it with the world.
