You can spend your whole life building,
Something from nothing
One storm can come and blow it all away,
Build it anyway

You can chase a dream
That seems so out of reach
And you know it might not ever come your way
Dream it anyway

God is great, but sometimes life ain?t good
And when I pray
It doesn?t always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway,

I do it anyway

This world?s gone crazy
And it?s hard to believe
That tomorrow will be better than today
Believe it anyway

You can love someone with all your heart,
For all the right reasons,

And in a moment they can choose to walk away

Love ?em anyway


I sing, I dream, I love
Anyway

VIEW LARGE ON BLACK

THE SWING
How do you like to go up in a swing?
Up in the air so blue?
Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing
Ever a child can do!
Up in the air and over the wall,
Till I can see so wide,
Rivers and trees and cattle and all
Over the countryside--
Till I look down on the garden green,
Down on the roof so brown -
Up in the air I go flying again,
Up in the air and down!

- Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894)

Sleep eludes me yet again. Perhaps because I've had too much of it while I was sick? Anyway, my laptop is within reach so Flickr here I am. Perhaps this post is a bit of a departure from what you usually see on my stream. But these images are still very much a part of moments I consider worth capturing. Besides, I don't have to be predictable all the time, do i?

This diptych is dedicated to all of you - TO THE CHILD IN EACH OF YOU. Come, go up in a swing, let it take you to new heights, let it give you a reason to shout with glee, let it make you forget the daily worries of adult life. The thrill may be temporary, but DO IT ANYWAY. Video will open in a new window.

Happy birthday, my daughter! Seems like yesterday. This is a really old polaroid snapshot, but it has special meaning! I love you! God truly sent me an angel when he sent me you!

In My Daughter?s Eyes





In my daughter's eyes I am a hero
I am strong and wise and I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me
I see who I wanna be
In my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light and the
world is at peace
This miracle God gave to me gives me
strength when I am weak
I find reason to believe
In my daughter's eyes

And when she wraps her hand
around my finger
Oh it puts a smile in my heart
