While it lasts

The falling leaves drift by the window,
the autumn leaves of red and gold

the days grow long and soon I'll hear
Old winter's song

Johnny Mercer

God my God

for Mercy and Life
for the rain
for the Sun and skies
for Moon and stars
for Lauren, for Libby, for jessie, for justice, for Jas and for Lear and Michaela
for wonder and seeing
for laughter
for painting the sky
for colors
for music and piano and all Joy
for brokenness and trust
for catching me
for Redemption.

for all.

thank you and thank you and thank you.

catch my grateful tears and let all sleep soft tonight.

Lessons in laughing

Monday Piano Adventures

Kayla's done forgot everything she ever learned,
#3 says those menthol-lyptus Halls give her the giggles, (she was higher than a kite)
I never before found the words "treble clef" as hysterical as they did.

We all learn things often and oftentimes we learn.

Until next Monday.

I would gift wrap all the presents
friendly things the world it has
if I could.

Even to send a folded thought
an envelope that holds
a wish for you

is what I wish.

Where could I send it?

But perhaps I can smile a smile
and hug a hug.
I'll send them off,
and they will know exactly where to go
to find you and tell you
my wish:

That you always see light
and are loved as you love.
And never looking back,
never forget.

Hold onto His hand
and hold onto his.
And in case you ever need it
mine's always here too.

Happy birthday, L
Times find me wishing I was there or you were here,
Love always,
