JUST WHEN I THOUGHT
David M. Bailey in concert!
Note from Michael: Yesterday morning, I had no idea how to proceed with the rest of my week of blogging after experiencing such a heavy heart over news of the Air France disaster. Then I checked my e-mail and as always, I was glad to see a note from my good friend (and a Guest who appeared on my Blog site feature "THE INTERVIEW") David M. Bailey. He is a singer/songwriter and a friend I never hesitate to call "Brother". He is a wonderful person and a great musician who lives life to the fullest. I respect David and his journey in life so much that I felt it would be best to post his latest lyrics to a new song he wrote. It is called: Just When I Thought. It conveys exactly how I am feeling. I hope it reaches you too. Just When I Thought
by: David M. Bailey
Just when I thought I had nothing left to say
The new morning brought
A few more words my way
Again I was taught
To celebrate each day
It’s always worth a shot
When hope shows up, let her stay
Now me, I used to have a lot
Of reasons I’d delay
But time is shorter than I thought
Don’t wanna let it waste away
So at the break of every day
I wanna live what I been taught
I’ve seen the games that people play
It don’t take much to get distraught
And be that as it may I guess that’s why
I still jot down what I’m trying to say
Even when I just cannot
Be certain things will go my way
But I’m sure there’s still a lot
To do before I hit the hay
Creeping up in my blind spot
Is something we call yesterday
Don’t let it be an afterthought
There’s time to try another way
Oh – and I almost forgot
Shout it out with me: Anchors Away!

Jess: Nice to hear from you. When I read David's line, "I've seen the games that people play" it hit home. I also like: "There's time to try another way". His writing is about Faith, Hope and Love. :D)
i like the line about writing down what you try to say.
it's a good exercise for "keeping cool" during difficult situations. a well-considered word is usually more valuable than a thoughtless one.
Seraphine: David is a very focused guy who recognizes what is important in life and what isn't. He takes nothing for granted, uses every hour to make it count in his marriage, as a young father and with people. Interviewing him was one thing. Becoming a good friend was a Blessing for me. Not to be missed in concert. Check his tour schedule. David is amazing!
He's not someone I know. Thanks for the feature, Michael.
Jean-Luc Picard: He's toured England and he has a fantastic website on my Blogroll. A prolific recording artist, he emphasizes Faith, Hope and Love. And I certainly welcome this! :)
A terrific poem, or lyric. Thanks for sharing it with us.
P M: David is a good guy. Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Neat post Michael
Thanks.

GLENN BISHOP! It's good to see you, my friend!!
All: Glenn was my Guest on 'THE INTERVIEW" and his life in show business is amazing. Worth a look back by Clicking On my button, 'THE INTERVIEW". A good guy!:)
We never run out of words if we are in awe of each new sunrise.
Sage: I couldn't agree more, my friend!
Sometimes the smiles come from obscure places. Hope your weekend is a good one.
Seamus: Well said! MyVery Best to you this weekend as well, Seamus! :)
