As Mondays go this on has been pretty good, so good in fact that for the first 6-8 hours I thought it was TUESDAY. nothing very extraordinary happened today, but a few small things went well and smoothly enough to lull me into a sense of un-Monday calmness. Lost items were found, chores were done, conversations happened and "God appointments" kept in a timely fashion.
One lovely thing about not being allowed to work is that you get to throw away your day planner. Now God sets my appointments and I just follow along. Two of these happened at Tanglewood mall this evening and since I don't have to be up and out early it didn't matter that I stayed and chatted. Encouraging one another is such a blessing!
All in all the only down side of this Monday has been missing my girls so much. Everyone is rushing about in a flurry of back to school activity and I am left with an empty nest. In the back of my mind a song has been quietly resurfacing from many many years ago. I couldn't remember who sang it or the title but the tune was there and a sense of longing for the lyrics and the voice.
Low and behold when I turned on Pandora just a bit ago that song was the first one to play. It is called "If I Could See the World (Through the Eyes of a Child)" and I've copied the lyrics to share with you tonight:
Written by Sammy Masters, Richard Pope and Tex Satterwhite
(As released by Patsy Cline 9/9/58)
If I could see the world
Thru the eyes of a child
What a wonderful world this would be
There'd be no trouble and no strife
Just a big happy life
With a bluebird in every tree
(Chorus)
I could see right, no wrong
I could see good, no bad
I could see all the good things
In life I've never had
If I could see the world
Thru the eyes of a child
What a wonderful world this would be
If I could see the world
Thru the eyes of a child
Smiling faces would greet me all the while
Like a lovely work of art
It would warm my weary heart
Just to see thru the eyes of a child
(Repeat chorus)
