The angels had gathered to discuss the fate of this man Children begged for his soul but the law is the law of the land
She placed the soul on the balance of life She cut away the dark edges
Her face turned as pale as the knife Weight in heavy of the sins of man
Angelic turned to grieving Cut more save the man
From his soul to the heart known for so long The balance laid lonely in the words of his song
The devil was playing in Georgia And off key just bit
He saved a young girl From her final hit
The angels gather in heaven trying to find a way Picked up his soul for his life they had to weigh
One was playing a harp other a fiddle of gold No one could ask but all wanted his soul
So worked long into the evening Found no answer there
Not able to sew up the seams Not able to find a person to care
Tossed to the winds of time in view of the world A small child gathers pieces to give it a whirl
With love and attention and help from a few of her fiends They mend the torn heart and soul with love that does not end
Placed not on the balance but brought before the mother of God With heart full of understanding she gave this soul her nod
Whispers once again filled the great halls No one dared to question her thoughts or morals
Children stop by the willow and listen to his tales Of love and of perfection on wings and pirate ship sails
Neverland is the palace for dreams that never grow old Hear the voice of a man gives birth to his childhood soul
Author's Notes
Come to the land of believing, come and stay awhile, heart and souls do not grow lonely, people live forever, friends never die, and little boys and girls do not go hungry, never does a man or child cry. I am a dreamer off on the sail of the sea, I will sail the heavens as a writer for eternity. Pretending leads to imagination and lots of creativity. In the mist of the hope every once in awhile the souls go free.....
