"He came from parochial school / Wearing Mardi Gras beads in Lent / I hope he comes back tomorrow"

Mardi Gras Beads in Lent *My son Teddy here to see me* *Wearing Mardi Gras beads in Lent* *Knows all the secrets to free me* *Or at least make the pain relent* *Of having been made a fool of* *As a middle-aged man by love* *He is fantastically charming* *He makes me feel that I am too* *So kindhearted and disarming* *And he loves what I write for you* *We ate some apples together* *I gave him some Feta cheese bread* *With Teddy's help I will weather* *This hollow feeling I am dead* *Inside feeling like an old fool* *He came from parochial school* *Wearing Mardi Gras beads in Lent* *I hope he comes back tomorrow* *Time with Teddy is heaven-sent* *An angel God lets me borrow* *When I have nothing but despair* *The bell rings and Teddy is there* *+Steven Curtis Lance* *Copyright MMV*

Well you know something Steve I think that to be able to love no matter how it ends still means that you were capable of love.

The Libra Solution: Shedding Excess and Redefining Success by Lisa DAnnolfo Levey
