Friends--
Maybe it's the progesterone, but pretty much everything is moving me to tears these days. Today, after I read the saga of Getupgrrl's latest cycle, I tried to say a little prayer for a successful retrieval for her, though I'm not sure I believe in that whole God thing so I wasn't really sure how that would work out.
Then, the following song came on the radio, and I think it was God showing off his omnipotence, because only S/He could be behind this. It's just too perfect. Getupgrrl, this one's for you:
I was born by the river
In a little tent
And just like the river
I've been running ever since
It's been a long, long time coming
But I know a change gonna come
Oh, yes it isIt's been too hard living
But I'm afraid to die
I don't know what's up there beyond the skyIt's been a long, long time coming
But I know a change gonna come
Oh yes it willThen I go to my brother
I say brother help me please
But he winds up knocking me
Back down on my kneesThere's been times that I thought
I wouldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
Oh, yes it will
