Monday Offering...My Man-Child

I don't post much about my family
this blog was not for that
but sometimes
sometimes
there are events that need to be honoured
that need to be acknowledged

This Monday's Offering is about/for my oldest son
my first born
my teacher
my challenger
my twin heart
my love


Look at the stars,
Look how they shine for you,
And everything you do,
Yeah they were all yellow,

I came along
I wrote a song for you
And all the things you do
And it was called yellow

So then I took my turn
Oh what a thing to have done
And it was all yellow

Your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
You know you know I love you so
You know I love you so 

I swam across
I jumped across for you
Oh what a thing to do
Cause you were all yellow

I drew a line
I drew a line for you
Oh what a thing to do
And it was all yellow

Your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
You know for you I'd bleed myself dry
For you I'd bleed myself dry

It's true look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for...
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine

Look at the stars look how they shine for you
And all the things that you do

This has been my song for him for years
(K I was so pleased this track was on the CD you made me)
my beautiful boy....



a week ago today 
we were having a going away party for you
You....


the Biebs...


and your functional-dis-functional family
saying our good-byes
in the goofy way we do...


I am so proud of you



venturing off
on your own
to the other side of the world
I know it was not the easiest thing to do
on your own
but you did it...


may Australia treat you well
may the road to your soul open up
may you meet those who draw you closer
to your heart
may you fill your journal with songs
may you find out what you are truly made of
may you drink this all in 
and take it for all it is worth
may you find your joy
may you find your truth
may you find your Spirit

I miss you 
like the desert misses the rain
but I am oh so very very happy for you
and my love remains forever
I will see you soon
but not too soon
Look at the stars,
Look how they shine for you,
And everything you do,
Yeah they were all yellow...

Love and Light

Who does your heart miss, 
like the desert misses the rain, 
my lovelies?
