Indulging my most lucid daydreams

WEBOMH

Not sure why I am emotional this morning. I am not necessarily melancholy but overwhelmed as I look at the season that is just beginning. I have always had a reason for the struggles. Make sure the children had a stable home, provide, college etc. There were even times as I look back when there was a freedom of thought that set me above the clouds. I guess I never felt so much alone as I do now or so lost in the scheme of things.
Screaming in silence. My mother's advice in life was " you made your bed, you lie in it" " if you think you have it bad, someone else has it worse" " why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free" Yep that was the extent of her lessons of life.
Okay so I am having a good cry and hopefully getting that all out of my system before I start the day. Heading out with a friend to celebrate her birthday. I have to travel on a highway that I am not fond of. I must have been the oldest sixteen year old to ever get a license and I still do not like traveling on some roads.
The " little engine that could" was always one of my favorite childhood stories to read to the children. So much so that I kept a framed painting of it above my work desk. As the train tries to make it over the mountain..." I think I can, I think I can, I think I can, I knew I could."I have come to realize it is not what happens but how we deal with what happens.
When my son Nicholas was two years old and we were camping he had a crowd of people around him and he was singing perfectly a song that I had always sung to the children. The people all yelled out" look he is so cute and he knows the words so well. " "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy, when skies are grey. You'll never know dear, how much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away." He knew all the verses to the song. All I know is that I did the best I could and hopefully that is good enough. That day down the road they will know the sacrifice, the love and the faith that it took to get them to that place in their life.
I am not sure if I love or hate the song by the Beatles " the  long and winding road" as it reminds of how long a journey and how difficult at times it was. Oh yeah, a lot of people had it worse. Lot of people would say" you are very strong Rachel."  I don't feel very strong today.


Sings> You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamt I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head, and I cried

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

I'll always love you and make you happy
If you will only say the same
But if you leave me to love another
You'll regret it all one day

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away.

So leaving this moment on a positive note. Here goes...

You bring the laughter
placing joy in the day,
calming my soul in a
warm kind of way.

Hugs and kisses
are merely of thought
but the love we share
cannot be forgot.

Bring on the blue skies
let the season begin,
lets take on the field
where daisy's are blooming.

Not here in my arms
but for sure in my heart,
you have been here from
the very start.

Feel the kisses
I've sent thru the wind,
from me to you till
the end.

Living and loving
each day with you,
that is what these
dreams do.

Reached wit the hand
and found with the heart,
the strength to unite
what nothing can part.

Up on the heavens
or here on earth,
I'll cherish the love
for all that it's worth.

Lips to lips a sweet kiss,
the feelings of bliss,
whispers of love for you
and scripted in the heavens
blue.














The Long and Winding Road

The long and winding road
That leads to your door
Will never disappear
I've seen that road before
It always leads me here
Lead me to you door
The wild and windy night
That the rain washed away
Has left a pool of tears
Crying for the day
Why leave me standing here
Let me know the way
Many times I've been alone
And many times I've cried
Any way you'll never know
The many ways I've tried
And still they lead me back
To the long winding road
You left me standing here
A long long time ago
Don't leave me waiting here
Lead me to your door
But still they lead me back
To the long winding road
You left me standing here
A long long time ago
Don't keep me waiting here
Lead me to your door
