The woman shuffled down the street, lookin at the ground She wore oversized shoes and worn out weathered clothes She looked up at me, said hello honey hopin I was a friendly giving soul I gave her a ten and then a listen I thought at the time she seemed so alone and I looked at all she had, which made me so sad then she forced a smile before she spoke Chorus: I don't worry when I got no money....oh no Don't worry that I'm getting old Cause I'm livin in the eyes of mercy And son, you can't find a better place to go I didn't have to say a word, she looked right through me and I needed her grace more than I could say My mind was clear and my heart was beating I felt a weight had been taken away I gave her a smile and then a good-bye and said I'll see you again someday Then I looked at all I had, which made me so glad tommorrow would be a better day Chorus: I don't worry when I got no money....oh no Don't worry that I'm getting old Cause I'm livin in the eyes of mercy And son, you can't find a better place to go [This message has been edited by ethome (09-13-2002 11:08 PM).] |

Eric, When I read this I started to cry and had to wait to respond cause I couldn't see clearly. You are such a wonderful and thought-filled writer. This is so beautiful -- Hugs, Marti Every now and then take a good look at something not made |

...Living in the eyes of mercy... Mercy. Indeed. You and Mysteria ought to get together and collaborate on a duet...I think all of Passions would benefit from such a work! Well done, Sir! |

I really appreciate all these comments...I know I don't deserve them because I've been so busy with this small contracting business I run and I haven't returned such kindness....It truly is so very kind of you all you're very good friends...Hopefully I will get around and return the favor soon! Thanks again Eric |

Now this is a song to carry with us each day. What a wonderful way to present one of life's most challenging "simple" things. It seems we sometimes forget where true happiness lies in all the hustle and bustle and moments like this can ground us at the most measurable moment. Excellent song my friend but then again........that is expected of you now isn't it. Always a treat to read one of yours and even more of one when we get to listen. |
