If I had words to make a day for you
I'd sing you a morning golden and new
I would make this day last for all time
Give you a night deep in moonshine.
For reasons unknown to me, the puzzle peices of my life have scattered a bit over the coarse of a weekend. It has left me worn out and a bit desperate in heart. But at the same time I am always reminded by the good people around me, that those pieces will soon settle and find their new home, because of God's will. Today, I knew just what I needed. Savannah went on her yearly Christmas pottery making excursion with Aunt Shelly and Taylor, and Brock and I stayed at Grandpa's just basking in something that really has no words but is so dear and fleeting. After I showed Grandpa and Brock my impressive moves on dragon slayer, we went down stairs to watch a movie. The movie Grandpa was looking for was Babe..one of my all time favorites, and Brock had never seen it. He couldn't find it at first and put on a skatboarding toon, just because he knew his precious great-grandson would love it. It is so nice to see the way my grandpa looks at Brock...like looking onto a little one whom you hope the time you spend with him will affect him all of his days. But wait...Grandpa took another trip to the movie gallery (his stash of 3,000 movies) and found Babe, and let me tell you it was just what we all needed! Savannah was back at this time, her and I curled on the couch under a snuggly blanket, and Grandpa and Brock sitting in a rocking chair. Grandma came down at one time with some wonderful penut butter cookies and we were all able to finish the rest of the movie. The lyrics above are from the theme song of which I have always loved. I will admit it makes me cry, but it felt so good. I am sure you have heard it a 100,000 times before, but I will telL you another 100,000 that I love my grandparents with all my might...and they are what keeps this hot air balloon stationed and beautiful with hope.
