Magical Moment 112, "How?"

Man, this blog is really gonna force me to put all my songs out there. Some are better quality than others. All are a work in progress. Here is one I started writing years ago, but only finished recently. Recording is a bit rough, but hope you enjoy. Click play at the bottom to hear recording.

“How”

Vs 1:

The first question asked when something goes wrong

Is, What have I done? Or, Why me God?

I can’t deny the thought’s crossed my head.

But what’s burning me up is another question instead.

Chorus:

How do you change overnight when you swore that you’d love me for the rest of my life?

And how do I make it through the night without you here to hold me and be by my side?

And how do I trust again when you’ve broken every promise and word you’ve ever said?

Just tell me how feelings that strong can be so convincing and then go all wrong?

Vs 2:

I would have bet my life that you’d still be here

When I’m old and I’m gray in fifty or more years.

You swore up and down you’re love was secure

Til I finally was at ease and you made me fee sure.

There’s just one thing you didn’t explain

And I’d like to know, if it’s not too much pain.

Chorus:

How do you change overnight when you swore that you’d love me for the rest of my life?

And how do I make it through the night without you here to hold me and be by my side?

And how do I trust again when you’ve broken every promise and word you’ve ever said?

Bridge:

I’m begging for answers so answer me please.

If I could just read your mind to put mine at ease.

Chorus:

How do you change overnight when you swore that you’d love me for the rest of my life?

And how do I make it through the night without you here to hold me and be by my side?

And how do I trust again when you’ve broken every promise and word you’ve ever said?

Just tell me how feelings that strong can be so convincing and then go all wrong?

Repeat and fade

Magical Moment 625, "Thailand - the Elephants"

Needless to say, my favorite part of our Thailand vacation, was our week long volunteering at Elephant Nature Park ! The logging industry was banned in Thailand in 1989, leaving thousands of elephants unemployed. These elephants are now used for tourism. You may have heard of elephant shows featuring the animals playing soccer or painting pictures with their trunks. They are no doubt amazing to watch, but the sad truth is that these elephants have gone through a series of torture and abuse to "break their spirit" by their trainers. This short clip is very hard to watch, but it will give you an idea of what the elephants in captivity in the country of Thailand go through. The only elephants in Thailand who do not endure this, are the very few baby elephants who are first generation born in "safe captivity" at places like Elephant Nature Park. Every other elephant at this park has been brutally abused. Some have been blinded by their owners, le

Magical Moment 620, "Lilac Garden"

Eddie and I visited the Lilac Gardens at Ringwood Manor in New Jersey, a pristine and beautiful state park with 8 species of lilacs and several varieties within. We went on a rainy afternoon, which turned out perfect because the rain stopped for us when we got there, and began again as soon as we left. It also decorated the plants with gorgeous rain drops, adding to their beauty. And now for a quick game of "Where's Elizabeth?" And "Where's Eddie?" ~~Have a great weekend! ~~

Magical Moment 280, "The Eleventh Hour"

The Veterans Day Parade, NYC On July 29, 2001 , five exceptional men were honored by the President of the United States for their remarkable military service. They were involved in a top secret mission that required unfathomable intelligence and as a result, literally won a battle which was instrumental in winning the war. Not the war that was happening in 2001, not even the Gulf War. It was World War II, and they were the Navajo Code Talkers who were largely responsible for winning the bloody battle of Okinawa. The only problem with the ceremony was that just 5 remained of the original 29. Our country was too late in thanking the other 24, and nearly too late in thanking those 5 men. On March 10, 2010, three hundred women won the Congressional Gold medal for their outstanding war service. Unfortunately, 800 received the award posthumously. These were the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) of World War II, who devoted themselves to flying military aircraft like the B-26 and B-
