RARIN TO GO - JOYFUL HAPPY SOUNDS!
9/12/2015
 
Hello, Everyone,
 
For what it's worth, I just approved of the publication of my 4th book - JOYFUL HAPPY SOUNDS!  That means I just emailed my publisher - Create Space - that we are fine to be finished with this one - all nearly 500 pages of it.  Soon, I will receive a finished copy with covers and all; and then if all looks great there, JOYFUL HAPPY SOUNDS! will be released for anyone to get a copy who wants one.  How about that?  This one is all of my songs from 1963 to May 25th, 2015 - 197 by final count.
 
But it seems I am not done.  As I was leaving for my walk this morning, I started song # 198 with a bit of a refrain.  As I was putting on my hat to go out the door, I told Nancy that I'm a rarin - I'm a rarin to go - and get on with gettin on with life by walking for exercise.  Then I told Nancy - hey that's a good idea for a song.  So, I wrote another song that will not be found in the finished work - JOYFUL HAPPY SOUNDS!  Life goes on!  Isn't it Wonderful!  I will copy my new song below.  Enjoy it or not as you will.  OK?
 
Yesterday, I finished my first edit changes to my final book - LOVING EVERYTHING.  So soon, maybe by mid October at the latest, that one will be done too.  Then it will be onward to 2016 and trying to find ways to share all these works that will have been finally published in 2015.  Not sure how all of that will go, but I am glad I can finally share many of my thoughts with a public at large.  Time will tell how it will go.
 
Let me leave you with my first song after the previous 197 have been printed.  I can't tell you how satisfied I am with the work that Create Space - my publisher - has done.  I think it is wonderful; and I feel very fortunate that it could actually happen as it is.  Perhaps I can lend some joy in my works amidst so many works that offer the opposite of joy.  I do believe the world could use a round of smiles.  Don't you?
 
Consider yourself welcome to review my finished works - and summaries of them - by entering "Francis Bessler" in the search bar for Amazon.com.  JOYFUL HAPPY SOUNDS is not there yet, but by the end of September, it should be.  Three of my planned five are done now, though; and soon, very soon, all five will be.  Enjoy them as you will!
 
Be in touch as you wish!
 
Gently,

Rarin To Go

A song by

Francis William Bessler

9/12/2015; modified slightly 9/13/2015

 

Note: 


I wrote this song after the completion of my book of songs

called JOYFUL HAPPY SOUNDS!  Thus, it is not included


in that work.  This is song # 198, then, of all the songs


I have written in life.  It may be my last; and then again, who knows?

 


REFRAIN 1:

I'm a rarin - I'm a rarin to go.

I'm a rarin - I'm a rarin to go.

Gotta keep up with life, you know.

I'm a rarin - I'm a rarin to go.

 


I can't sit and let the world go by

if I want to keep up my health as fine.

I've got to stay active - even if it makes me cry,

 but it's easy to do, knowing I am Divine.

Refrain 1


 

The body's a miracle, but to survive,

all miracles must stay active to keep up with time.

Time goes on and refuses to slow -

and so must all miracles that I know.

Refrain 1

 

Life, indeed, is mysterious, but it's plain to see,

whatever it is, it's the same for you and me.

Let us all rejoice as we live carefully,

knowing whatever we are is full of Divinity.

Refrain 1


So, come along with me and let me be your friend.

Just look at your life and love it to the end.

Life itself is a prize and it should be embraced.

To do other than that is to live life in shame.

Refrain 1

 

Shame, my friend, is only denying your worth.

It's reaching for meaning beyond our Earth.

It's claiming that God only resides elsewhere;

and it's failing to know God must be everywhere.

Refrain 1

 

Virtue, my friend, is acting like all is Divine

because an Infinite God in all makes all fine.

It's knowing that everyone has equal worth;

and it's believing that worth starts from birth.

Refrain 1

 

So, let me get on with life - and spring along;

and as I spring, let me sing my song.

And if you will, spring along with me

as we join together and live life as free.

Refrain 1

 

Repeat last verse and refrain,

 

then - REFRAIN 2:

I'm a rarin - I'm a rarin to go.

I'm a rarin - I'm a rarin to go.

Gotta keep up with life, even if it's slow.

I'm a rarin - I'm a rarin to go.

Yes, gotta keep up with life - even it's slow.

I'm a rarin - I'm a rarin to go.

Yes, I'm a rarin - I'm a rarin to go.
