Who knew it would be in the cards
that I’d be preparing Swiss chard.
Saute’d in extra-virgin,
you’ll avoid the heart surgeon,
but it tastes much better with lard!
Today there's no more wind in my sails
Today rainbows doesn't exist at all
Today the frog is still a Green frog
Today the damn has busted beyond repair
Today the sun has abandoned me
Today all the flowers has withered and died
Today the ache in my heart has magnified
Today I need a heart surgeon to fix my broken heart

Could Not Stay In Heaven
So many years in this body
one day I shed my flesh and bones
that sheltered my soul
the "good bye's" were so hard
and I found myself
kneeling at his feet
feeling I did not belong there either
he then showed me bright pictures
of my wrongs and my rights
then asked me "Did you give Joy"?
I timidly glanced into his eyes
of melted gold and brown
and without words he told me
"you must go back, you have much work
to do. This time, remember to fill your heart".
There was no "time" involved
I wake up in a strange place, in a strange bed
I'm a man......I look under the blankets....
"whoa, I am a Man"!
I hear "honey, you're going to be late for work"
what? Work?
I remember......I'm a heart surgeon
I deal with life
I deal with death
I can't save all the people. I try.
I go home at night counting who I have saved
that day. I feel Joy.
I also have to tell loved ones,"I'm sorry, he's gone".
my heart is filled, my heart is emptied
I save lives, fix broken hearts.
Strange....I see flashes of a girl...familiar to me
when I see her, I hear a whisper
that sounds like, "fill my heart"
"fix my heart"
"who is she"?
