How many made up stories, do we repeat as facts today,
Years ago in history, a few friends sitting around a fire,
Telling stories, one impressed another, then in the world it stayed.
We question so much in society, in every possible way,
Stories made up years ago, all those written, facts in books,
Like how old is planet Earth, go pick up dirt and rocks,
Make a guess as you play. Like saying all of the dark,
Top soil is the remains of human waste, from long forgotten days,
The time on clocks and dates on calendars, we live our life by,
A human made up, so we never really, know our own age,
Or The ice age was a million years ago, yet we can’t remember,
What we had for breakfast yesterday.

Our planet earth is round, covered with cities & small towns,
Every few months a new season comes around, we should all be happy,
Floating in space, where ever were bound. We cannot jump off, gravity,
Will keep us on the ground, Listen, for a real true reason, be still, answers,
Come in words of sound, With respect to others, search for your inner self,
It is there to be found, morals, true feelings, surviving together, more,
Honor and pleasure, then wearing a gold crown. Evil always tries,
To destroy the good, they never rise up the ladder, their thought always down,
Explore your true thoughts, and feelings, look alone, changes make us grow,
Experience, walk a different path, try, humans were not made to be ***-bound.
Your personal home, inside and out, a reflection, of you, your castle, keep peace,
On your street, eliminate neighborhood battle grounds. Life is too short,
There is enough, to share, the way we think creates our attitude, keep positive,
Achievable, goals, with time and effort, life turns around. Many challenges,
Possibilities, appear in life, some were put there for a reason, a precise moment,
Of our journey, We, decide to accept move forward, or turn around, we are each,
To, change our chapters in this life many times, If, you were to experience,
It will be back around life can be a merry-go round.

There are some things, you never get over,
You think about them every day, why,
Seems to be the answer, to many questions,
As you watch the years pass away.
Family, friends, and special others, who touched,
Your heart, as you travel through this life of days,
Everyone has many lessons to learn,
During their time, that’s a limited stay.
Each person, has a different purpose, their part,
In this life’s play, every life time varies,
How many breaths you will take, while acting
  Your part on planet earth, which is your stage.
Some will see one hundred years, while others,
Never see a second, of one single day.
None of you ever have, or will see the script,
With lessons, you must let the pain fade,
When the original story was written,
Everyone, was to love, care, and share,
Without judging each other’s ways,
What kind of memories, are you creating,
In this life, for others,
After your soul travels, away.

My ticket expires on my last day,
I cannot renew my reservations,
Or cash in points, for an extended stay,
Make good use of my time, learn right or wrong, in my mind,
Appreciate, those who help me, survive, along my way,
I’m still searching.

                                       ( chorus )
Searching for the reason, why I am here,
Am I cold, close, or getting anywhere near, many trails to follow,
As I travel, along the way, some thoughts, and ideas,
I will have to stretch, and bend, on different days,
This is my life, it’s the real deal, not a game of chance,
Or to pretend in anyway.


Lyrics By: The Original: Tom Maxwell © 04/16/2924 A.D,

If it was not for the past,
We would not be here today,
As we create new paths, and places,
For future generations, to live and stay.
Everyone, has personal treasures, they save today,
Many call them pieces of junk,
When actually, they are a map, of our existence,
Heirlooms, with stories of yesterdays,
That old rocking chair, grandma, sat in everyday,
That her grandpa, handmade, her mom rocked her in as a baby,
Then she rocked your mom, you were rocked in the same chair by her.
The chair, is just an example, of almost any object, that has been in your,
Family, for many years, they have been through, births, deaths, happiness,
And sorrow, they have survived the past, take care of them,
They will be a part of tomorrow.

Sitting at my desk, looking out my window,
A brown deer, caught my eye, as she,
Walked across the far bank, of the fairway of green,
Under a white morning sky.
She walked into the woods, from my left to my right,
I am now looking through the leafless, trees, scanning,
For any movement, everything still, no movement do I see.
I am going out side now, to hit a few golf ball, and finish,
Cutting honeysuckle, off and under neath my juniper every green,
Another peaceful quiet moment, from mother nature, a beautiful scene.

Horoscopes, not the one liner’s you may see,
In the back of newspapers, or magazines,
Where were all the planets, stars, in the sky,
At the exact moment, you arrived, as a human being.

It is easy to act like others, do around you, so they,
                                   Accept, and you fit in, never exploring, yourself,
Deeper into the way’s you think, and feel within.
Why we think, act different, during various situations,
What your best qualities may be, you could release outside,
You were not born, to follow and act like others, think you should,
Be, your life time is limited, discover yourself inside.
It is not too late, because of your age, you never know the best,
Moment of your life, until your last breath, on your final day.

Years ago, the knowledgeable people, looked at the sky, to,
Find solutions in many ways, 1n 1345, the black death,
Bubonic plague, was created from a triple conjunction of,
Saturn, Jupiter, and mars in the 40th degree of Aquarius,
Scholars from The University of Paris, discovered in those days.
