A Blue Sky Holiday

After enjoying a most lovely day at The Botanical Gardens with a wonderful couple who I so enjoy...and who have been married for 50 years. That is something to celebrate!

My gaze went north to the sky. It was refreshing.  The lyrics to the song Bad Day by David Powter came to mind. That melody is a fun one...the bridge has a line in it that says.. well you need a blue sky holiday...It was a great day!

Jun Kaneko's exhibit is a must see... See more than 50 drawings and large-scale ceramic sculptures flanked by lush greenery and colorful flowers throughout the 100-acre botanical garden, located in the beautiful riverfront hills. The placement of each sculpture in the garden setting is sensitive to the garden elements and evokes a sense of peacefulness...

A Blue Sky Holiday

A piercing sky not a cloud in sight
clears a clouded heart
lifts a spirit produces a smile
all the while feeling loved

A fragrance lingers with every step
a flower that's blossomed with no regrets
reeeaaaching out as to say hello
come in closer my friend

A precious couple
walking hand in hand
smiling, laughing just taking it in

A beautiful day with beautiful friends
and God who also joined into
His BLUE SKY HOLIDAY.

Strength of a Lion

Strength of a Lion

Please click on the following link to listen to song....   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URe6nqdY0eY

All odds are against you your backed to the wall
No matter where you step you keep falling falling
Defeat is staring you in the face
You can be bold you can be brave
Chorus:
With the strength of a lion there’s no mountain too high
The strength of a lion is buried deep inside
open your  mouth let a roar come out
And climb, You can rise
With the strength of a lion
V2:
Battles will come they are part of life
An attack from the left another from the right
Will you let them devour you; become their prey
 Stand strong a triumph awaits
Chorus:
With the strength of a lion there is no mountain too high
The strength of a lion carries you to new heights
open your  mouth let out a victory shout
And climb, You will rise
With the strength of a lion
Bridge:
You are not meant to roam alone   
When you are weak when you feel small
let others help you along
let others help you along
Chorus:
With the strength of a lion there is no mountain too high
The strength of a lion is buried deep inside
open your mouth let a roar come out
And climb, together we will rise
With the strength of a lion
