the luckiest

i don't get many things right the first time
in fact, i am told that a lot
now i know all the wrong times,
the stumbles and falls
brought me here
and where was i before the day
that i first saw your lovely face?
now i see it everyday, and i know...

that i am, i am
i am the luckiest

what if i'd been born 50 years before you
in a house on the street where you lived
maybe i'd be outside as you passed on your bike
would i know?
and in a wide sea of eyes
i see one pair that i recognize
and i know...

that i am, i am

i am the luckiest

i love you more than i have ever found a way to say to you

next door there's an old man,
who lived to his 90s and one day
passed away in his sleep
and his wife, she stayed for a couple of days
and passed away
i'm sorry i know that's a strange way to tell you that i know we belong
that i know...

that i am, i am

i am the luckiest

How You've Grown

"My, how you've grown."

I remember that phrase from my childhood days too.

"Just wait and see."

I remember those words and how they chided me,

when patient was the hardest thing to be.

Because we can't make up for the time that we've lost,

I must let these memories provide.

No little girl can stop her world to wait for me.

I should have known.

At your age, in a string of days the year is gone.

But in that space of time, it takes so long.

Because we can't make up for the time that we've lost,

I must let those memories provide.

No little girl can stop her world to wait for me.

Every time we say goodbye

you're frozen in my mind

as the child that you never will be,

you never will be again.

I'll never be more to you than a stranger could be.

Every time we say goodbye

you're frozen in my mind

as a child that you never will be, will be again

Stamping and Scrapbooking by Scrapaganza!

This month's Pinecone Press Book was created by our scrapbook store, Scrapaganza! These are pictures of the projects that I had published in the book. We had to wait quite a few months for the big reveal, but it was well worth it. Last Thursday, we had the chance to share it with our Not Your Ordinary Book Club members. It was a fantastic party! Again, I was not the photographer of the evening, but will have to get some pics from my gals and post them here soon.
