She is on my mind all of the time
She is my daydream through out the day
She is my dream in the night's shade
She keeps me in wonder for no reason at all

She makes me feel like a lovesick boy in spring
She has me on edge without doing a thing
She leaves me in suspense with a smile
She keeps me wanting more then and now

She is on my mind all of the time
She is wrong but never so right
She is magic and a sweet delight
She keeps me in wonder for no reason at all

She is my song I sing has my world on a string
She knows my heart and she likes to tease
She knows my heart and she likes to please
She keeps me wanting more than and now

The Puppet Show

The Puppet Show


A reflection of our past should tell us something about our future
 A blade of grass torn & drifting in the wind
 The stage is set for the stars to appear
 Draw near and hear perhaps shed a tear

 The members are all assembled the conductor is present
 A variation of a dream sequence in the figment of our mind
 The strings are pulled to alert the players to move
 Just got into the groove with a change of mood

 Suddenly they sing with such melodic of tunes
 A brevity of sounding chimes to make sure everyone is in line
 You see God is the conductor pulling his world on a string
 The theatre is set for service to our heavenly king

 Shadows are torn in formation to its timely ring
 Some are lazy & some are willing to bring there all in all
 Today we have two responders with Hillary & Trump
 One wants to build a wall the other is a no it all

 The puppet show may come to a theatre near you
 Borrowed chairs and a papal pew
 Perhaps we as a society have bitten off far more then we could ever chew
 Let's cooperate with the conductor as he chisels his wand upon your soul
