I've had the idea for a bit over a year now...that our lives are much shorter than what we really perceive in years. That is when I started thinking about if I was lucky to live as long as some of my grandparents of nearly 100 years, that it would only translate into 36,500 days. Not very long when we consider that this number is a relatively small number in our day to day world. This number of 36,500days is not even what most of us will live to. So here it is...
In the Grand Scheme of Things.
Set to the music of Mary Chapin Carpenter-
10,000 Miles.
Fare thee well
My own true love
Farewell for a while
I’m going away
But I’ll be back
Though I go 10,000 miles
10,000 miles
My own true love
10,000 miles or more
The rocks may melt
And the seas may burn
If I should not return
Oh don’t you see
That lonesome dove
Sitting on an ivy tree
She’s weeping for
Her own true love
As I shall weep for mine
Oh come ye back
My own true love
And stay a while with me
If I had a friend
All on this earth
You’ve been a friend to me
