The Nastiest bug creates a war Zone

I LOVE the movie 'Tangled'. It is such a fun movie and suits my humor to a 'T'. I watched it the other weekend with my kids, and have at times been reminded of that funny song " I've got a Dream". Yes you know the one. Anyway one day I was miraculously sitting in the car by my self. (The miraculous thing was that I was by myself, how often does that happen...) So I thought about what MY dreams are, not the kids not my darling husbands but MY dream. I was reminded the ultimate dream for me would be to be able to sing all day every day. Write music (that people would actually LOVE and not just say so to be polite) To be able to sing all day for a living... for LIFE! That is my dream. Dream on right?! Well I also reminded too that you have to make your own dreams come true. Life is not a movie... well at least for me anyway... we need to have our dreams and then go about making those dreams come true. Where possible ofcourse, I don't think the dream of my son's to become Ben 10 will ever happen but hey!!

Where is this going? Ok, Im getting to that...

I emailed my sister in law Donna, to let her know that I couldn't meet a commitment the next day with her because I was climbing a mountain. One of those life mountains that either makes you or breaks you.. She was a darling and emailed me back a wonderful quote.

"This is NOT the mountain I will die on!" (figurative not literally)


 I loved it. I was reflecting this on my way home from rugby practice last night, when a light bulb went on. Usually I do not get or MAKE an opportunity to write things down but I pulled into the dairy, scrounged around my car for a pen and paper and madly scribbled in the half dark .....a song. After my inspiration's consent it is actually ok, I now present you with an original song- (and copyrighted)..Thank you Donna!!

Climb

Verse 1:

There must have been an earthquake

Whilst I lay asleep last night.

Cause  I opened my door

To find a mountain in my sights

It blocked the rays of the sun,

All I see is grey

What am I going to do? I heard myself say.

Verse 2:

The air was cool, The light so dim

My heart feels heavy can I really begin

To face the task I am to defeat

To climb this mountain,  It’s just so steep,

What do I do (again) I heard myself say….

Chorus:

Climb, a voice said, climb

Just one step one step at a time

Breathe in, Breathe out one inch one mile

I’ll have to climb this mountain high, climb.

Verse 3:

It felt like days, or was it just hours

That I’d been pushing myself to get higher

Alone with my thoughts, how destructive that can be

Another rock,  Another  tree

I slip in the mud, and find myself on my knees

I stumble, I pray… help me find the strength to get up again…..

Chorus:

Climb, the voice said Climb,

Just one step one step at a time

Breathe in, Breathe out one inch one mile

I have to climb this mountain high, climb.

Bridge:

I look up from the ground and meet the gaze of a man

His shoes were all worn, his face weathered  and tan.

But the light in his eyes peirced my soul  as he told,

“ The view from the top -  it is worth more than gold”

 Chorus:

So, I climbed, like I had never climbed

One breath,  TWO steps at a time

And when I reached the top, in exhaustion I found

That the view…yes the view… was oh so worth the climb
