I’ve always fought
This  “Higher Power”
It then...
Hit Me!
Like
A bell tower

Through out my journey
When **** SHOULD crash
Somebody up there liked me
And ALWAYS
Saved my
***

So if you could please
Look down on me more
I do need
The looking
To show me
Which door

I’ll get on my knees
To thank you
EACH DAY
For all of the lifting
And pointing
The way

And so...
I BELIEVE
In a “Higher Power”
It’s good to
BELIEVE
In this waning hour

I hope you find yours
Don’t give up, geez
I’m now 64
And
Just down on
My knees

One afternoon, as a kid, I stopped to watch a movie that was on in the den with my mother, this was very rare. The movie was Somebody Up There Likes Me with Paul Newman as Rocky Graziano and Joanne Woodward as his wife.
Rocky at one point in the movie realizes that he’s been a very lucky man, many things in many ways could’ve happened to him, but didn’t... during a ticker tape parade Rocky shouts out...”Somebody Uo There Likes Me.”
