Music #27strong

I've always loved music... Different genres, different styles. I enjoy lyrics.  It's poetry really.  Most music is simply someone bringing poetry to life. Adding another dimension to the words and thoughts that dance in our brains. We hear something...a song...the words grab us, or maybe the melody.  We feel something...the music moves us, or maybe the words.  We can relate. It explains our mood.  I am jealous of those who can sing.  Don't get me wrong, I sing.  I am fabulous in the shower...in my car...in my mind.  My sweet Charlee asks... "Mommy sing me a song." As I sing to her, her eyes focus on mine, lost in my voice regardless of whether I am in tune or not.  

Since J died music has played such an important part in my life.  Sometimes a good description of my feelings, others a reminder that life continues on. It makes me smile. It makes me dance. It makes me cry. It makes me train harder, run faster. It fills the silence. It tells me a story. It makes me feel strong, sexy. It touches me. It gives me hope. I have this knack lately of picking phrases and sections out of songs that touch me, mean something to me that others may not even hear.  Within the song they may not mean what I hear from them.  Those of you that follow often and know me ... I'll often post a quote or a phrase.  "life ain't always beautiful...but it's a beautiful ride."  "I see you as I fall asleep, never to touch and never to keep." 😢

Tonight as I watched some you tube videos of one of my favorite groups pentatonix... I heard a random phrase as I thought of my sweet friend and her son.  You may not hear it the same way I do.... But it stuck with me as I kissed my teenage son goodnight, tucked in my moody 13 year old girl, turned the lights off for my 10 year old and put the toddler back in bed yet again.  "Don't you worry, don't you worry child....see Heaven's got a plan for you. Don't you worry, don't you worry child."  If only us parents could manage to not to worry so much.

Goodnight my friends,  goodnight my love, Goodnight Gage...Heaven's got a plan for you.  <\3
