Out of May - with corrected song!
5/31/2020
Hello, Everyone!
Other than for a few normal health problems,
Nancy and I had a good May -
even as much of the world did not.
I won't go into the details of that "harsh May,"
but I did do something rather laudable in May, I think.
I shared a song that I think goes to the heart of
why any month is harsh by virtue of one missing word
in the song I wrote.
Let me explain.
I wrote a song I called NEW WORLD COMING and shared it with you.
I finished that on May 23rd, my oldest daughter, Anita Marie's, 50th,
though I started writing it April.
After I sent it forward, my wife, Nancy, pointed out to me
that I had missed a word - a very important word, too.
Here is the error verse:
I also believe it is sad
that we fail to realize
that all must be Divine
simply because an Infinite God
in all must reside.
It cannot be that God
blesses some
and leaves others in a lurch
when, in truth, God must in All
and All must be
GOD’S CHURCH!
Do you know what word I missed?
I bet most do not - and yet it is not only a "missing word,"
but a very important missing word.
Can you believe it? I left out the word "be"
as in God must "be" in all.
But I think my little mistake is a mistake
that many make -
and in never recognizing they made a mistake,
sometimes they live their entire lives
unaware of the miscue, so to speak.
Well, I made it - and I need to correct it.
Thanks to Nancy for pointing it out.
I will leave you with the changed verse
and let it go at that. OK?
Have a wonderful June, everyone!
And if you make a mistake, admit it.
The world will be a whole lot better off if you do.
Here is the corrected verse
with the "missing word" highlighted.
After that, the entire song - all over again.
Enjoy it as you can - and will.
Alright!
Thanks!
Gently,
Francis William Bessler &
wife, Nancy Shaw

NEW WORLD COMING!

Note:
Refrain should be sung
while verses should be recited.
Refrain:
There’s a new world coming
for those who are not blind.
There’s a new world coming
for those who open their minds.
There’s a new world coming
for those who realize
that we’re all part
of a Miracle called Life.
It’s good to keep in mind
that our Earth is but a spec
in a Grand Universe.
When death comes unexpectedly,
that should make a sense of death
a little less terse.
If we could travel to the great beyond,
we’d probably find it no better than here.
So, let’s live our lives
on this Great Planet Earth
with Deep Gratitude and Cheer.
Refrain.
I do believe mankind
has always found itself
greater than the birds;
and that is one reason
we have lost our way
in the greater world.
When we act like
we are better than a world
that surrounds,
that leads to a lack of empathy
and illness of mind
does confine and abound.
Refrain.
I also believe it is sad
that we fail to realize
that all must be Divine
simply because an Infinite God
in all must reside.
It cannot be that God
blesses some
and leaves others in a lurch
when, in truth, God must BE in All
and All must Be
GOD’S CHURCH!
Refrain.
Jesus said so long ago
that Heaven is at hand.
That is only because
no matter where we are,
God is leading that band;
but He is not out front
leading for us to follow.
Rather He is Inside of All
and beckoning us to mellow.
Refrain.
Indeed,
Let us all realize
we are but part
of a Wonderful Divine Mystery
and then no matter
how, when, and where we go,
we will leave behind us
a Fantastic History.
