"Father To Son"
Somewhere down the road, you're gonna find a place
It seems so far, but it never is
You won't need to stay, but you might lose your strength
on the way
Sometimes you may feel you're the only one
Cos all the things you thought were safe, now they're gone
But you won't be alone, I'll be here to carry you along
Watching you 'til all your work is done
When you find your heart, you'd better run with it
Cos when she comes along, she could be breaking it
No there's nothing wrong, you're learning to be strong
Don't look back
She may soon be gone, no don't look back
She's not the only one, remember that
If your heart is beating fast, then you know she's right
If you don't know what to say, well, that's all right
You don't know what to do?
Remember she is just as scared as you
Don't be shy, even when it hurts to say
Remember, you're gonna get hurt someday, anyway
Then you must lift your head, keep it there
Remember what I said
I'll always be with you don't forget
Just look over your shoulder I'll be there.
If you look behind you, I will be there.
-- Phil Collins

i love this song. i always have. i hadn't thought of it in a very long time.
not until today when my estranged daughter sent me a text out of the blue and just filled my heart to near-bursting.
it's been a rough few weeks, i won't deny it. no, not everything is fixed yet. still, hearing from star just really healed something i didn't even realize was still hemorrhaging. hearing that she is basically happy made something inside me calm. there's a peace i was missing, a settling that has been like a long-aching muscle finally on the mend.
i think i may have found a home. nothing is in writing yet, but it's looking very good! it's close to work, it's got plenty of space, no stairs, covered parking for two vehicles, brand new appliances, brand new carpet, brand new AC and heating system. i'm trying not to get my heart set yet, not till i have keys in hand september 1st.
there is happiness lurking around here somewhere, i just KNOW it! :D
