Merry Christmas
Happy Hanukkah
My prayer for each of you is that you embrace all whom you love , look into their eyes and tell them....what ever comes to your mind. Just being together is the most precious gift.
This year is very different for me….
most all of you already know.
I have
re-worded a song to pay tribute to my much loved and missed brother.
If you can't handle some racy words, do not read any further.
This is a childhood memory being
shared with ya!
We’ve heard there was a secret chord
That Cordie played and it pleased the
Lord
Now he’s gone and how I miss him, do
ya?
Well it goes like this –we hit the
street
And found a snowy place to meet
And off we go to ride the bumpers, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah,
hallelujah
Our spirits high the air was brisk
We perched right there and took the
risk
And hung on to the speeding car, booya
The baffled driver looking rear
Saw nothing in their rear view mirror
And took off down the snowy street, yahoo-ya
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah,
hallelujah
You glanced over with eyes filled
bright
And there I was just hanging tight
Just left of that Ford tail light, lookin’
to ya
Staring back, I knew I’d see
My brother looking right at me
That shit-eating grin was looking
right thru ya
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah,
hallelujah
Once that driver hit the gas
We’d crouch low and freeze our ass
Our boots would fill with dirty snow,
screw ya
Our hands would grip that bumper
tight
Two young foolish kids were taking
flight
Like two wild animals raised in a
zoo-ya
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah,
hallelujah
Thick as thieves we ran the streets
Frozen hands and frozen feet
Chasing dreams of downhill flight, so what’s it to ya
For snacks and treats just up the
street
None to share, for us to eat
Wrappers lay around our feet,
nothing for ya
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah,
hallelujah
Back outside into the cold
Barely 10 and 12 years old
Our guts filled tight we’d spent all
of our moolah
We would search for our next new tow
With burning hands and a dripping
nose
No time to stop and shoot the breeze
to ya
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah,
hallelujah
Because we knew it was time to flee
We nestled behind the tree,
Hiding there and trying to fool’ya
Time to book or haul some ass
Escape with drivers, please hit the
gas
Their failed attempts to capture us,
screw ya
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah,
hallelujah
The moonlight shone so bright and
clear
The snow filled streets we held so
dear
Anticipating the next hitch, hallelujah
Any direction would be great
How flippin’ long now would we wait
It was never hard for us to stray
comin’ to ya
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah,
hallelujah
We were smart if only in our own
heart
Taking risks that gave us a start
Our mother’s at home drinking beer,
cheers to ya
So we had nothing more to fear
It was just you and me hiding here
Two crazy kids what a blast, whooo
hooo hoooo hooo ya
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah,
hallelujah
Bumper hitching in the snow
Very dangerous yes we know
Were told so many times so what’s it
to ya?
My friend, my brother I held you
dear
Those time as kids come back so
clear
With tear streaked cheeks I’m
blowing a kiss right to ya
There’s a smile right on my face,
Please take me with you every place
My heart and spirit are still right
here with ya
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah,
hallelujah
Many thanks to my much loved husband, Mr. McSteamy, for helping me maintain the melody....something that is far beyond my reach.
With Deep and Sincere Gratitude,
OK and a Smile and Giggle too!
Kelly
