Can it really be
20 years ago tonight
we first walked along
the shore road together?
Can it really be
16 years ago I ran up the hill
to take this picture of the house
that changed us forever?
Can it really be
almost 9 years ago
our little angel came crying
and laughing into this world?
Can it really be
20 years ago tonight
you became my guy and
lucky me became your girl?
Well, look at the calendar – it WAS 20 years ago tonight! Happy first-date anniversary, Baby!
Whoo-hoo — TWENTY years!!!
And dear readers… someday I’ll show you more pix of the little house in Mahone Bay we remodeled, added onto and sold. (1994 photo above shows it after additions, but before finishing touches.) [edit: we were living in Texas and doing up the house in Canada mostly from afar, with one carpenter working on it.]
Verse 1.
Sail a child like a ship out on the sea
Anchor her with love, then set her free
Stand upon the windy shore
Where so many have stood before
Sail a child to sea.
Verse 2.
Sail a child with all that’s good and true
From the deepest, sweetest, giving part of you
Listen when she speaks to you
Catch her dreams and sail them true
Sail a child, and true
Bridge.
Know that she’ll be safe out on the water
Know the love you show will lead her way
Know that you have raised a beautiful daughter
Know that she’ll be sailing home one day
Verse 3.
Sail a child and your heart around the world
Your tiny, shiny angel dancing girl
Hear the splashing of the spray
As she goes laughing far away
Sail her ’round the world
Sail a child like a ship out on the sea…
(end of lyrics.)
Ahh, feels good to finish those up and be happy with them.
“Let’s Drink Up The Stars” has not fully come together yet, but will some day, just have to let it find it’s own way up and out.
But…
My melody for “Sail A Child” is complete!
My camera tripod is set up!!
And I’ll post a video of me singing it when I feel it’s ready. I can’t promise an exact date, but know I’ll be working on it, and aiming for it to not suck.
Have a super-blessed day.
Love,
Jannie
