just stop for a moment
just stop for a moment
and picture a place and time
way, way back there in the past
when greek and roman mythology
both reigned supreme
back when the world was still quite young
with lots of forests and woodlands
and covered over with pretty shades of green
then one special day
god reached down to earth
and came upon a young boy
who was really just half grown
happily swimming in the ocean
with a dolphin
long before the fear of humans
had ever been sown
anyways he was out there at sea
although he was all by himself
he was protected and safe
there with the dolphins
and somehow still very close to home
long before anyone had ever thought
to even giving him a name
or carve his statute in stone
for right now at least ---
he was still a young boy
happily swimming in the ocean
but really all alone
now think back to a time
long before people hungered
for the emptiness of fortune and fame
long before anyone had ever thought
to give the boy a name
but on that special day
god spoke and said
look ---
I know you’re just a young boy
swimming out here in the ocean
and having lots of fun
way out here at the sea
under a bright and warm summer sun
but if you didn’t act so dumb
and sometimes kind of stupid
you could almost be another angel
or even another cupid
because cupid would fly around
just all over the place
and touch each person’s heart
among every creed and race
the boy listened – but couldn’t speak
was this really god ?
and was he really this near ?
and was he really this close ?
the boy was totally stunned now
and overcome with anguish and fear
then god was gone
and the boy was alone again
with just his troubled thoughts
and mixed up hopes and dreams
and maybe even some silent
confused and muddled screams
but he thought to himself
over and over again in his mind
for at least a thousand times
( and you might as well know it right now !!! )
he was still looking for more proof
or at least a few more signs
anyways he thought to himself
those things that cupid spoke of
whether they’re real or not
or whether they came down from heaven
or from some distant galaxy
way way out there in outer-space
or were they just from
some crazy person’s wild imagination
whatever creed – whatever race
because --- if they really do make people happy
really, really happy
( for he too was kind of like cupid )
( sometimes kind of – sort of a little stupid )
for he simply couldn’t figure out
or understand why
if those things that cupid spoke of
if they make people – really, really happy
THEN WHY ON GOD’S GREEN EARTH ----???
DO THEY ALSO MAKE PEOPLE CRY ----???
