MY ATHEIST ANGELS - CRIPPLE CLUB by Mountain Songs published on 2023-02-19T20:58:18Z (Written by Terry Reeves) Terry Reeves: Vocals Gary Reeves: Drums Hans-Michael Albers: All other instruments, arrangement & production Illustration: 'Floating Man' by Enrique Mendez I don’t believe in luck but I do feel very privileged to have two angels looking after me. My wife Jo and my daughter Charlotte have saved my life on three occasions keeping me alive until the ambulance arrived. I have been told that without their interventions I would not have survived. Both have chosen not to believe in any God or indeed any outside power that can change our lives. There may be many of you who disagree but these are the choices we make - each of us believes what we feel is best for us. If a belief in a higher being helps give anyone’s life more meaning and guides them through each day, we have no argument with that at all. I think of Jo and Charlotte as my Atheist Angels. The care they have given me during these close-to-death experiences shows what beautiful souls they are, always there for me at the time of greatest need. On every occasion, there were times when I truly thought that I was drawing my last breath, my existence disappearing as they fought to save me and all I could think of at the time was that, barring my brother Gal, all of my closest male antecedents died when they were just 63. I was the same age during these episodes and I really didn’t want my name added to the sequence. My Atheist Angels made sure that it wasn't. Now I am 67, a proud grandfather, still around to enjoy the experience of watching my family thrive and grow. There is another grandchild on the way later on this year and the more time I can spend with the love of my life Jo, the better and although my illness is not exactly how I planned things, I still try to enjoy every extra moment. The continuation of ‘Cripple Club’ with Gal and Hans has been another unexpected bonus and we plan to keep going as long as we can. Here’s to the next song - I do hope you enjoy this one. (Terry Reeves) The whisper of a distance voice Two angels arriving single choice Keep breathing slow not too much Your not leaving just stay in touch I’m floating yes I’m floating yes I’m floating floating away A feeling of desperate final breath Lonely moment no time to caress Fighting every 63rd dying thought Surviving each gulp of air caught I’m floating yes I’m floating yes I’m floating floating away Has time arrived to lay down still Not accepted by two who really feel More than one chance to live again The Angels alongside helping pain I’m floating yes I’m floating yes l’m floating floating away Fight to avoid final thought of death A fading light continues to suggest Only time decides what, when and how My Atheist Angels this time will not allow I’m floating, yes I’m floating, yes I’m floating, I’m floating I’m floating, yes I’m floating, yes I’m floating, I’m floating I’m floating, yes I’m floating, yes I’m floating, Floating to stay……………………..cont Genre Folk & Singer-Songwriter Comment by aerogene070 So beautiful and lovely.
