To Begin Again

I give myself life to begin again
Is forgiving my twisted mind a sin?
Scattered ideas shed with dread
I’ll focus real hard to express again
Loving children I see each day
Playing out in their own special ways
Walking near the waters edge
Eventually traveling to the beach instead 
 
Feeling sources of energy that flows
Near lakes and beaches, playgrounds and coves
I think and remember past lives gone today
So strong a synergy passed along life’s way
Beyond my knowledge of powerful strength
Such a gift I appeal having senses to see and feel
Once in a while the connection is real.


So be still and vision fields of beauty at will
As changes occur forever existing in time
Not for long as evil creates some crimes
So create a song, a chin, or chant
With family and friends, anything to grant!
All these years in numbness by chance
I glance to see the real world of life,
But all you need is lots of practice
To share God’s light with all our mightiness 
 

Prayers and songs, holding hands, just right
Breaks free the wretched wills, and gives hope all night
Carry on living from day to day with thoughts of a dove
As our lives we live to give our great love.
