… I’m so blessed to get to meet and work with amazing people… just a little song Tommy Bahler wrote this week and shared with friends… one of the world’s greatest songwriters… beautiful… ;-)

I awaken to your scent each morning
Your eyes glistening brand new
Deep inside I hear a whisper
“How grateful am I for you”
For we share the same heart
Breathing out
Breathing in
And only the angels know
Where you leave off and I begin.

verse II

Trust, patience and forgiveness
Are words we rarely say
For they are so embedded in us
We live them every day
And even when we’re apart
We’re as present as the stars
When I’m asked where my home is
I answer,
It’s wherever you are.

… finding beauty today in the simplest of things…

mirror

… including new melodies and lyrics, ordering the sheet music now… ;-)

Love only comes
Once in a while
And knocks on your door
And throws you a smile
And takes your every breath,
Leaves every scar,
Speaks through your soul
And sings to your heart
But if I knew then
What I know now
I’d fall in love.

Monty Powell, Anna Wilson, Charles Kelley
