Dancing on a Very Small Island

Happy Day 32


waiting on the day when my thoughts are my own
when this house is my home
and plans are made
when you'll be there for me babe
when you love me all the way
when you take my side in every little firefight
when you hang your things and stay

i'm waiting on the day
when my life on the run
bleaches out in the sun
and shows my age
waiting on the day when that voice comes to say
that it's not wrong what you did
for just a kid
when you'll be there for me babe
when you love me all the way
when you take my side in every little firefight
when you hang your things and stay
i'm waiting on the day

waiting on the day when these words are in stone
when the kids are all grown
and we go dancing
oh can you do it babe?
can you love me all the way?
will you tie me tight in little strands of paradise
will you walk with me before the morning fades

i'm waiting on the day

Clouds of Glory


Happy Day 31

Lying on the tramp, I watched the clouds and felt peace. 


Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting:
The Soul that rises with us, our life’s Star,
Hath had elsewhere its setting,
And cometh from afar:
Not in entire forgetfulness,
And not in utter nakedness,
But trailing clouds of glory do we come
From God, who is our home:
Heaven lies about us in our infancy!

      William Wordsworth

Little Children


Happy Day 30

Today was very happy. Jessica, Lucy and  William met me after my temple shift. William said. "BB you look beautiful". Little children make life so sweet. 

"And He took their little children, one by one, and blessed them, and prayed unto the Father for them."
     3 Nephi 17:21
