Take my hand my angel
And we shall dance
Together we soar to the heavens
The wind plays a somber music
As we dance among the stars
Your red hair flowing
Like strands of red silk
Spun across the heavens
We laugh as one
Cherishing the moment
Momentarily my pain subsides
As your spirit warms my heart
Angels' smiles give me comfort
Your laughter gives me hope
I wish to dance the night away
I want to dance forever
The pain with surely return
And we shall dance once again

"Rise Above This"
Take the light, undarken everything around me
Call the clowns and listen closely, i'm lost without you
Call your name every day when i feel so helpless
I'm fallin' down but i'll rise above this, rise above this
Hate the mind, regrets are better left unspoken
For all we know, this void will grow and
Everything's in vain, distressing you though it leaves me open
Feels so right, but i'll end this all before it gets me
Call your name every day, when i feel so helpless
I'm fallin' down, but i'll rise above this, rise above this
Call your name every day, when i seem so helpless
I'm fallin' down, but i'll rise above this, rise above this doubt
I'll mend myself before it gets me
(i'll mend myself before it gets me)
I'll mend myself before it gets me
(i'll mend myself before it gets me)
Call your name every day, when i feel so helpless
I'm fallin' down, but i'll rise above this, rise above this
Call your name every day, when i seem so helpless
I'm fallin' down, but i'll rise above this, rise above this
Forty eight ways to say that i'm feelin' helpless
Fallin' down, fallin down', but i'll rise above this, rise above this

Journal
Thursday, July 24, 2008 4:01 PM CDT Summer is flying by. Sparks OK was a blast as always. It was good to be back. I saw many people I have met there before. It is such a unique environment. There were probably in excess of 10K that Saturday night. Acres of bikes. For that matter, acres of people.
Visited friends and my cousin over the 4th in STL. Cassie and I had a blast even though we did our own thing.
I was able to take in a concert a couple weeks ago. Saving Abel, Rev Theory, Shinedown, Drowning Pool, Egypt Central, and Puddle of Mudd. I believe I have had ‘Blurry’ on this site several years ago. The bands were all great, but it was lame at the end. I suppose too much partying prior for Puddle of Mudd. I have seen them in the past and they were awesome. This time, just disappointing. Cassie stayed at home by herself that evening. That is a first for us. But she is growing up. Starting to untie those apron strings can be very difficult. That was one of those ‘first’ moments. Parenthood is grand. Maybe I just try to enjoy every little thing even if it hurts a bit.
The Seether song. Yes, I know the meaning behind it. And it is a great video. This is the second Seether song I have had on this site. Seen them in concert twice as well. It touches me. I still mourn. I mourn my child. I mourn my ex-husband. I mourn for others who have lost their spouses and parents. I mourn for the families whose lives have been torn apart by diffused pontine gliomas.
