Gone home.


"When the world turns blue
you will turn into
rhythm, words and melody
that show a power anew

And though the past may find you
with all I left behind you
I still will play the song
that I played for you. . .

And when we are gone
the song will live on
Some stranger will hear 
and he'll say this is just how I feel
Every line, every moment is true
When the world turns blue."

Text exchange earlier this week:

Me: "Your dad sounds like an amazing man."

Her: "Yes. Dad = Amazing."

May we all be so fortunate to have our children and grandchildren speak of us this way in life  . . . and to leave such a legacy behind in death. 

Yes, the song will live on. The best songs never leave your head or your heart.


"His master said, "Well done, good and trustworthy servant!". ~ Matthew 25:23
