I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe
I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a Love can do
I'll be there for you.
I grew up in the fifties with practical parents- a Mother, God love her, who washed aluminum foil after she cooked in it, then reused it. She was the original recycle queen, before they had a name for it. A Father who was happier getting old shoes fixed than buying new ones.
Their marriage was good, their dreams focused. Their best friends lived barely a wave away. I can see them now, Dad in trousers, tee shirt and a hat and Mom in a house dress, lawn mower in one hand, dish towel in the other.
It was the time for fixing things - a curtain rod, the kitchen radio, screen door, the oven door, the hem in a dress. Things we keep. It was a way of life, and sometimes it made me crazy. All that re-fixing, re heating, renewing, I wanted just once to be wasteful; waste meant affluence. Throwing things away meant you knew there'd always be more.
But then my Mother died, and on that clear summer's night, in the warmth of the hospital room, I was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn't any more.
Sometimes, what we care about most goes away... never to return.
So, while we have it, it's best we love it, and care for it; fix it when it's broken, and heal it when it's sick. This is true for marriage, friends, old radios, and old cars, children with bad report cards, and dogs with bad hips, and aging parents, and grandparents.
There are just some things that make life important, like people we know who are special, so keep them close!
This game is called LIFE!
Seven rules to it;
1. Make peace with your past so it doesn't spoil your present.
2. What other people think of you is none of your business.
3.Time heals almost everything, give the time, sometime.
4. No one is a reason of your happiness except yourself.
5. Don't compare your life with other's, you have no idea what their journey is all about.
6. Stop thinking too much, it's alright not to know all the answers.
7. Smile! you don't own all the problems in the world. ;)
