I was feeling really stressed and dismal today.
So what do I do? Call mi madre and have her sing me a lullaby. Is it juvenille? Probably, but it always makes me feel better. Some of the most soothing memories I have of my childhood involve my mother singing to me.
The song she chose to sing was so fitting, too. I have no idea where it's from, but she also used to sing it to me when I was little. Lyrics time!
Don't lose your way with each passing day
You've come so far, don't throw it away
Live believing dreams are for weaving
Wonders are waiting to start
Live your story: faith, hope, and glory
Hold to the truth in your heart
If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by for you and I
Souls in the wind must learn how to bend
Seek out a star, hold on 'till the end
Valley, mountain.. there is a fountain
That washes our tears all away
Words are swaying, someone is praying
Please let us come home to stay
If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by for you and I
When we are out there in the dark
We'll dream about the sun
In the dark we'll feel the light
Warm our hearts, everyone
If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever..
As high as souls can fly
The clouds roll by
For you and I
Definitely a song that I will remember and sing to my children when they get to feeling like I am right now. Because I'm an emotional girl, I started sniffling and tears started to well in my eyes when she was singing it to me. Not because I was sad, though.. I miss mi mami. :(
