What is the outcome








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.....
