Ah, I see it now
Yes, I feel it now
This is where the Joy is
Here in this present moment

I can't change my past
I can't leap into the future
But I can take this Gift of Now
And enjoy it's unfolding beauty

And if I string them all together
Like the twinkly lights on a Christmas tree
I'll illuminate the memories
Create a Life of Magic and Mystery

To experience all these Blessings
These miracles of Love and Light and Hope
They inspire Faith in every heart
They inspire Joy in every Soul

Ah, I know it now
Yes, I am connected to it All
This Universe that God created
Is beyond the mind... Into infinity

We can't change our past
We can only imagine the future
But here, here my friends is where the Joy is
We can magnify it through our choices

And if we string them all together
Like the twinkly lights on a Christmas tree
We'll illuminate the memories
Create a Life of Magic and Mystery

To experience all these Blessings
These miracles of Love and Light and Hope
They inspire Faith in every heart
They inspire Joy in every Soul

Ah, we know it now
Yes, we are connected to it All
This Universe that God created
Is beyond our minds... Until forevermore

You say I can speak to you anytime
But we both know that's a lie
It's important that I know my place
Because, you know... you have a life!

I have to fit in, you see
Like a pretzel in a bag
Turning myself inside out
Being smothered by your bad

All the hypocritical things
That you say and do
Hey, you think your kid's a preacher
So, by virtuous association, so are you!

How about we open up your Bible
And turn to the Godly guidance
Charity* begins at home, it emphasizes
Perhaps you couldn't understand the irony

When I was stuck in Hell
And burning for my good deeds
You stood on the sidelines
Burning marshmallows for Peace

You didn't bother to check on me
Assumed God's Grace would see me through
You wondered why I fell silent
But was to chicken to know the Truth

Instead you did that thing
That thoughtless people do
When they act like everything is fine
Only seeing what they want to

And I, being a Chosen One
Follow the Light and the Love
Having to set a leadership example
Sent by God's Mercy above

I have compassion for your weaknesses
After all, you're just a man
I forgive you for all your trespasses
As I am forgiven through Heaven's plans

I don't want to talk to you
We are strangers, not a family team
I choose Heaven's counsel instead
Surrounded by God's Angelic beams

You live your life as you will
May your heart reflect your Truth
I will treat you well, as I do all humans
Knowing it's for the Highest Good

We all have our own paths to walk
We all have our crosses to bear
Maybe one day we'll meet in Heaven
And understand the lessons that we shared

Every Soul is ultimately connected
We're all here to do our best
May Love and Light guide us both
To help pass all Heaven's tests

* Google AI: The Bible doesn't contain the exact phrase "charity begins at home," but it does emphasize the importance of helping those closest to us. For example, the Bible says, "Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever".

As I edge ever closer to the time
That I was born
I get to reflect back upon
This mantle that I have worn

Over fifty years
I've lived and learned
Loved and lost
Grown and burned

It can seem strange
To the inexperienced eye
Who miss the glint
Of mischief and smiles

But within each elder
Is a young, wild sprite
Exuberant and playful
Ever hopeful, never doubting

It's important to remember
To make age a mere number
For we are all eternal
And our Souls never go under

For we remain starlight
Stardust and miracles
Part of the Universe's greatness
A sight to behold

We fly up, up and away
Never giving up on our True path
Focussing on creative delights
Knowing we share One Heart

On this last day of August
May we leave our cares behind
May men seek Peace and Harmony
And find common ground

For we are all one people
No one is better than another Soul
Brothers and sisters on Earth
Meant to guide each other Home

So much suffering and indifference
So much needless worrying and sorrows
Why can't we see the Love and Light?
Why aren't we thinking about tomorrow?

All this war and strife, dear heart
Is not helping anyone at all
Only those who seek power and greed
Can gain when we're lost and forlorn

We are meant to focus on Joy and Blessings
We are meant to have Hope and Faith
We are pure Love and Light eternal
Not just part of the human race

Fashioned from starlight and stardust
Created to expand the Universe's delight
Why can't we see our Divinity?
Instead of focusing on needless fights?

On this last day of August
Could we try to connect and feel deeply?
Let's allow Heaven's Grace into our lives
And Love and Light throughout Earth's people

The butterflies are everywhere
They remind me that you're near
They flutter and spread joyous colour
Flashes of light and blessings everywhere

And even though you're in Heaven now
You let me know that you love me
You send messages via Earth Angels
To comfort me and help my heart's healing

Maybe I'll never get over the loss
Maybe it's my burden to carry
But I thank God and His Angels every day
For the Love and Light that They're sending

It wraps me up and stills my racing mind
It reminds me of the gratitude we have for Life
You will always remain my darling butterfly
And we'll share our Angel wings together in time

When last did you stop and notice
The perfection in the leaves?
The beauty of the flowers?
The scent of Nature's blessings in the breeze?

The perfectly formed tree stands tall
Surrounded by the adulation of wildflowers
The perfectly formed garden on a hill
Nature is magnificent and wields her powers

She creates sunflowers with sunny faces
She creates sand dunes that move and play
Fields and deserts, oases and forests
She is magical and creative

When last did you stop and notice
The mysterious allure of a wave?
Its life is over in an instant
And yet it still runs towards its Fate

Every perfectly formed wave
Is replaced by the next in line
We are in awe of the majesty
That is our ocean so sublime

Nature is a guardian
Nature is amazing
Nature is a magician
Nature is a soulful craving

Please stop and embrace the magic
Notice the butterflies and the bees
See dragonflies and ladybirds
Experience flora and fauna with ease

For we come from Nature
We are made to live within her space
We are perfectly formed by Source
And Nature is part of our DNA

These days, Lord
These days have been hard
We are trying to hold on to Faith
We are trying to remain strong

So many heartaches
So many tears we shed
We see people fighting in the world
We see people mourning their dead

What has become of us?
Society seems more broken than ever
Greed and power hungry tyrants
Are always trying to get ahead

So many struggling people
So many are tired and worn down
We see people lying to themselves
We see people lying for their crowns

Oh, oh, oh...
Give me a sign, Lord; give me a sign
When I am lost and confused
Please remind me of Your timing
Give me a sign Lord; give me a sign
When I am on my knees praying
Please give me a sign

With God all things are possible
It is said time and time again
We need to have Hope and Faith
We need to pray and feel His Grace

When we focus on the world outside
It can be scary and crazy and Dark
But when we focus on God's Word
His Angels will guide our paths

So ignite your Soul's spark right now
Do not fear and do not mourn
For every single thing we've lost
Will be returned to us in a new form

Our Souls are all entwined
Our freedom is our Destiny
Never forget you're loved forever
Hold on to your Gifts and Dreams

Oh, oh, oh...

Oh, oh, oh...
Give me a sign, Lord; give me a sign
When I am lost and confused
Please remind me of Your timing
Give me a sign Lord; give me a sign
When I am on my knees praying
Please give me a sign

Oh, oh, oh...
Oh, oh, oh...
Yeah...

Oh, oh, oh...
Give me a sign, Lord; give me a sign
When I am lost and confused
Please remind me of Your timing
Give me a sign Lord; give me a sign
When I am on my knees praying
Please give me a sign

Give me a sign, Lord; give me a sign
Give me a sign, Lord; give me a sign
Oh, oh, oh...
Give me a sign, Lord; give me a sign

I am Light
See it shine from my eyes
I am incandescent
See it shine from inside

You are Light
Feel it within your being
You are incandescent
Know your unique mystery

I embrace my power
I am sovereign and divine
I unleash my wildest dreams
I am blessed and I am sublime

You are powerful
You are sovereign and divine
Please unleash your wildest dreams
Know you're blessed and sublime

Nothing is impossible
We live in a Universe that is endless
Our freedom is in our choices
Let's remain curious and restless

Made from starlight and stardust
We are ignited by the atoms and strings
For we experience the magnificence in the whole
It is joyous and connected to everything

Can you feel the Light within?
Can you embrace your divinity?
Don't you think it's time for us to rise up?
Like the phoenix spreads its wings?

Tonight is a splendiferous Super Blue Moon
Feel her pull on your Soul's strings
She wants you to explode with power
Be brazen and test your freedom

It's up to each of us to shine
To become part of the collective good
Heaven needs our warrior spirit
To be unleashed and understood
