Because You’re In The World

“Your Song” by Elton John

It’s a little bit funny this feeling inside
I’m not one of those who can easily hide
I don’t have much money but boy if I did
I’d buy a big house where we both could live

If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it’s not much but it’s the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one’s for you

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it’s done
I hope you don’t mind
I hope you don’t mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you’re in the world

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they’ve got me quite cross
But the sun’s been quite kind while I wrote this song
It’s for people like you that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I’ve forgotten if they’re green or they’re blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I’ve ever seen

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it’s done
I hope you don’t mind
I hope you don’t mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you’re in the world

I hope you don’t mind
I hope you don’t mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you’re in the world

God blessed the world when he created Mothers. “How wonderful our life is when” our Mom’s are with us. “How wonderful life is when” we can feel their arms around us.” “How wonderful life is when” we can pick up that phone and share our joys, accomplishments, fears, disappointments etc.

For those of us whose Mom is on the other side, our time seemed too short. But we are reminded today that our Mothers love is constant through all life times. They are never more than that one breath away. They continue to share our lives with us and help guide us if we choose to let them.

That is the HOPE. And so it is.

-Meditate/pray…..be silent and think about Mom today.

-Drink lots of water.

-Get outdoors and take in at least 10 deep breaths.

-Be grateful for motherhood.

-A beautiful sunny and warm day.

-A great reading from Andras.

-As we were talking about next steps and in particular fellowship and mentorship, my other phone started ringing and it was my friend, Pat. That was my 3rd affirmation. I love synchronicity.

-Dinner and visiting with Dianne and Gary. Good laughs.
